Moore CAD Property Search, Online Protest, Forms, Map and Tax Payment Guide
Moore County property owners usually search this topic when a value notice arrives, a tax bill looks confusing, a homestead exemption is missing, or a property search does not show the right account. In Dumas, Sunray, Cactus and rural Moore County, the correct answer depends on whether your issue is appraisal value, exemption, protest, map research or tax payment.
This guide gives you a practical route through the official Moore County Appraisal District tools. You will find the right search page, map, online protest link, forms, tax office route, contact details and step-by-step checks before you file, call or pay.
Quick Answer for Moore County Property Owners
Use Moore CAD for appraisal values, property search, owner/address/property ID lookup, exemptions, agricultural and wildlife forms, rendition forms, online protest, interactive map, tax rates, appraisal calendar and appraisal district contact questions.
Use the Moore County Tax Assessor-Collector for property tax collection, tax statements, receipts and payment questions. The Texas Comptroller directory lists Moore County as the collecting unit and lists Chris Rivera as the Tax Assessor-Collector.
Official Moore CAD and Property Tax Resources

How to Search Moore County Property Records
The Moore CAD search is useful for homeowners, buyers, ranch owners, business owners, mineral-interest users, agents and investors checking appraisal records in Dumas, Sunray, Cactus and rural Moore County.
Open the official search portal
Start with the official Moore CAD property search. Use this before relying on copied directory pages or paid lookup sites.
Choose the best search method
Use Owner when you know the owner name, Address when you know the property location, ID when you have the account/property number, and Advanced Search when results are too broad.
Search simpler when nothing appears
If the full owner name fails, try last name only. If address search fails, try only the street name, property ID, legal description or the interactive map.
Open the full property account
Review owner name, mailing address, situs address, legal description, land details, improvements, exemptions, appraised value, taxing units and tax year.
Save the record before filing or paying
Save a PDF or screenshot before filing an exemption, preparing a protest, checking tax information, calling the office or comparing your value with nearby properties.
Visual Search Help: How to Use the Moore CAD Search Screen
The existing article image shows the Moore County Appraisal District property search area. It should be used inside the search section because it helps users understand which search method to try first.
Image note: If your Moore County property does not appear, try a shorter owner name, property ID, street name only, legal description or the interactive map. Rural land, business personal property and mineral-related records may not search like a simple home address.
Moore CAD Forms: Homestead, Ag, Wildlife, Protest, Rendition and Tax Deferral
Moore CAD’s forms page is detailed. It includes homestead, disabled veteran, agricultural 1-d-1, wildlife management, timber, appointment of agent, protest, evidence affidavit, rendition, tax deferral, confidentiality and electronic delivery forms.
| Situation | Likely Starting Point | What to Prepare |
|---|---|---|
| You live in the home as your main residence | Residence homestead exemption | Owner name, property ID, residence address, move-in date, tax year and driver’s license or required ID information. |
| You are over 65, disabled, disabled veteran or surviving spouse | Matching exemption or tax deferral form | Ownership details, age/disability/veteran proof if required, ID information and correct tax year. |
| You own farm, ranch or open-space land | Agricultural 1-d-1 application / agricultural guidelines | Land-use history, acreage, livestock/crop records, leases, photos, maps and supporting agricultural proof. |
| You use wildlife management | Wildlife management plan and annual report | Wildlife plan, annual activities, habitat work, maps, photos and management records. |
| You own business personal property | General rendition of personal property | Business name, location, equipment list, acquisition year, cost records, inventory and contact details. |
| You disagree with the value | Notice of Protest / online protest | Notice, property ID, comparable sales, photos, repair estimates, evidence affidavit or proof of incorrect CAD data. |
Form tip: Moore CAD states that homestead applications must include the applicant’s driver’s license or other required information. Match your address and owner details carefully before submitting.
How to Prepare a Moore CAD Protest
A useful protest explains the issue with evidence. Instead of only saying “my taxes are high,” show whether the issue is market value, unequal appraisal, wrong property details, missing exemption, agricultural classification, business personal property error, condition problem or damage.
Read your Notice of Appraised Value
Check property ID, proposed market value, appraised value, exemption status, deadline, protest instructions, online protest option and hearing information.
Compare the CAD record to the real property
Look for wrong square footage, incorrect improvement details, old mailing address, missing exemption, wrong land size, wrong property class or business asset errors.
Collect evidence that matches your reason
Useful evidence can include comparable sales, photos, repair estimates, purchase documents, income data, agricultural records, BPP asset lists or proof of incorrect CAD details.
Use official protest access
Use the official Moore CAD online protest system when available, or use the official Notice of Protest form from the Forms page.
Keep confirmation proof
Save screenshots, upload confirmations, email receipts, certified mail receipts or stamped copies. If evidence is not complete, file before the deadline and continue organizing proof.
Deadline warning: Always follow the deadline printed on your own Notice of Appraised Value or confirmed directly by Moore CAD. Do not wait until the last day to request help, gather evidence or file online.
