Roberts County Appraisal District CAD 2026

Most precise when copied directly from an official notice or statement.

Try the surname, spouse, estate, trust, ranch, company or prior owner.

Use the highway, FM road, county road or shortened physical description.

Use section, block, survey, abstract, tract or deed information for acreage.

Confirm the lot or tract, improvement details, homestead, Miami ISD and City of Miami taxing-unit status.

Separate the homesite, residence, barns, shops and other improvements from the acreage receiving productivity appraisal.

Verify active agricultural use, operator, stocking, water, fencing, forage, lease and five-of-seven-year history.

Prepare planting, harvesting, bale, sale, expense and weather-related records rather than relying only on the rural location.

Search for separate accounts. A surface owner, mineral owner and royalty recipient can be different people or entities.

Compare the CAD owner, probate record, deed chain, affidavits of heirship and mailing addresses for every known interest.

Search the trust, trustee, company, individual and prior-owner names, then verify the recorded ownership document.

Check the parent account, new parcel account, deed acreage, retained acreage and tax-year effective date.

Use the business-personal-property account and verify where the property was located on January 1.

For a qualifying owner’s principal residence. A closing company or mortgage lender does not automatically file it.

Can provide an additional school exemption, school-tax ceiling and possible installment or deferral rights.

Can provide additional exemption and school-tax-ceiling benefits when statutory requirements are met.

Use the applicable veteran or surviving-spouse form with current VA documentation.

An inherited residence can require death, heirship, occupancy, utility and available court documentation.

Religious, charitable, cemetery, solar and other exemptions use separate applications and qualification tests.

Land generally must have been devoted principally to qualifying agricultural use during five of the preceding seven years.

The qualifying activity must be active and genuine rather than planned for a future year.

Agriculture must be the principal use rather than a token, recreational or residential activity.

Stocking, cultivation, hay production or another operation must meet the level generally accepted in Roberts County.

Fencing, water, grazing, cultivation, marketing, records and land care should support a real commercial operation.

The applicant must provide enough information for the chief appraiser to determine qualification.

Wildlife management generally continues qualifying 1-d-1 land rather than creating qualification for previously nonagricultural land.

Prepare the applicable Texas Parks and Wildlife plan identifying the target species and planned practices.

Document at least three qualifying activities such as habitat, erosion, predator, water, food, shelter or census management.

Keep dated photographs, receipts, maps, logs and population or habitat observations.

Texas law permits qualifying beekeeping use on not less than five and not more than twenty acres.

Ask Roberts CAD for the current number of active colonies and documentation expected for each acreage level.

The ARB hears qualifying disputes between property owners and the appraisal district.

Follow the hearing notice for date, time, place, attendance method and evidence instructions.

State the exact value, acreage, exemption, classification or correction requested.

Label each comparable, photograph, estimate, survey page, lease or production record.

Save the ARB decision and immediately review the available appeal deadline.

Pay the required undisputed amount before delinquency when pursuing a further appeal.

Property taxes are normally timely when paid by the applicable January 31 deadline.

Unpaid taxes generally begin accruing statutory penalty and interest.

Texas law permits a tax collector to accept partial payment, but the unpaid balance continues accruing charges.

Qualifying age-65, disabled, disabled-veteran and certain disaster-affected owners may use statutory installments.

An additional collection penalty can attach after the required statutory notice and date.

Call the Tax Office before paying an old balance because the amount changes over time.

Equipment, furniture, machinery, inventory and income-producing vehicles can be maintained separately from real property.

The ordinary deadline for most 2026 business-personal-property renditions has passed.

Qualifying income-producing tangible personal property totaling $125,000 or less in a taxing unit is exempt beginning in 2026.

Contact Roberts CAD about how the new exemption should be documented for the specific account.

Mineral, royalty or working interests can appear separately from the surface land and residence.

Division orders, royalty statements and deeds help identify the interest but do not replace a professional title opinion.
