Choose the Comanche CAD filter that matches the property
| Search field | Best use | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Owner name | Homes, farms, businesses, trusts, estates and mineral owners. | Try last name only and compare every plausible property type. |
| Property address | A home, rental or business with a known situs address. | Remove the suffix or street number when the full address fails. |
| Property ID | A notice, tax bill, prior property record or correspondence contains the identifier. | Confirm the owner, property type, legal description and year. |
| Geographic ID | Matching an appraisal account with the map or parcel reference. | Do not treat it as a surveyed legal boundary. |
| Legal description | Rural tracts, town lots, inherited land and property without a normal address. | Compare the abbreviated CAD description with the recorded deed. |
| Abstract or survey | Farm, ranch and rural-acreage research. | Match the abstract, survey, tract, acreage and map location. |
| Property type | Separating real, personal, mineral, mobile-home and other accounts. | Search more than one category when an owner has multiple interests. |
| Neighborhood or subdivision | Comparable-property or equal-appraisal research. | Compare actual property class, size, age, condition and land use. |
| Doing Business As | Business-personal-property records using a trade name. | Match the legal entity, situs, account and rendered assets. |
| ARB Search | Locating protest or hearing information connected with an account. | Use the official hearing notice and filing confirmation as controlling. |
Understand what the Comanche CAD account proves—and what it does not
| Account field | What it identifies | What it does not prove | Next action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property ID | The appraisal account maintained by Comanche CAD. | That every outside office uses the same identifier. | Save it for forms, protests and tax-office questions. |
| Owner name | The owner carried for appraisal administration. | Complete legal title, mineral ownership or lien status. | Search County Clerk land records when legal ownership matters. |
| Situs address | The physical location carried in the appraisal account. | The owner’s mailing address or complete legal description. | Compare it with the map and recorded deed. |
| Legal description | The lot, block, tract, abstract, survey or subdivision reference shown. | That the abbreviated text is sufficient for a deed or boundary decision. | Open the recorded instrument and survey. |
| Acreage | The acreage carried for appraisal purposes. | Surveyed or legally guaranteed acreage. | Compare the deed, plat and professional survey. |
| Property type | Whether the account is real, personal, mineral, mobile home or another category. | That every interest owned by the person is combined in one account. | Search each relevant property type. |
| Market value | CAD’s opinion of market value as of January 1. | A guaranteed sale price or final tax amount. | Compare property facts, sales and equal appraisal. |
| Appraised value | Value after an applicable appraisal limitation. | The amount remaining after every exemption. | Review the taxable value for each taxing unit. |
| Taxable value | The value remaining after applicable exemptions. | The current tax balance, penalties or payment status. | Use the Tax Assessor-Collector’s account. |
| Exemptions | Homestead, senior, disability, veteran or other benefits applied. | That every taxing unit grants the same amount. | Review each taxing unit’s taxable-value line. |
Use the Comanche CAD map as a locator, not as a legal survey
Separate market value, appraised value and taxable value
Comanche CAD’s opinion of what the property would sell for under normal market conditions as of January 1.
The value after an applicable appraisal limitation, such as a qualifying residence-homestead cap.
The value remaining after exemptions. It can differ for the county, school, city, hospital or water district.
Search differently for Comanche, De Leon, Gustine, Sidney and rural land
Confirm the city, Comanche ISD, county, hospital and other taxing-unit lines, then verify the homestead exemption.
Check whether City of De Leon and De Leon ISD appear, and compare the legal description with the correct town lot or rural tract.
Review City of Gustine, Gustine ISD and county-related units separately because taxable values can differ.
Use the property ID, abstract, survey or legal description when the parcel has no standard street address.
Compare the appraisal parcel with the deed, survey, road access and any separate restrictions affecting lake-area or rural land.
A parcel near a county boundary may be connected to Blanket, May, Zephyr, Gorman, Rising Star, Dublin, Lingleville, Hamilton, Hico, Priddy or Mullin ISD.
Search the deceased owner, estate, heirs and recorded instruments before assuming the appraisal name reflects complete title.
Determine whether the home and land are assessed together or under separate real- and personal-property accounts.
Search the mineral property type separately because the mineral account may not appear with the surface tract.
Use Comanche CAD’s published intensity standards before assuming acreage qualifies
The guidelines generally require qualifying agricultural use for at least five of the preceding seven years.
Agriculture must be the land’s principal use, not a token or incidental activity added only to seek tax relief.
The operation must be managed at a level generally accepted for that agricultural activity in Comanche County.
| Activity | Published local example | Evidence to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Cattle grazing | The guidelines use a typical minimum of three animal units for the majority of the year. | Livestock records, fencing, water source, sales and lease documents. |
| Horse breeding | The guidelines reference at least three breeding mares and evidence of offspring sales. | Breeding, sales, fencing, water and management records. |
| Goat or sheep operation | Animal-unit equivalents and available forage are used rather than acreage alone. | Herd records, grazing plan, fencing, water and offspring sales. |
| Standalone crop field | The guidelines reference approximately 50 acres for many standalone farming operations. | Planting, fertiliser, crop rotation, harvest and sales records. |
| Hay production | The guidelines reference approximately 10 acres with normal production and management practices. | Cutting, bale, fertiliser, sales and equipment records. |
| Orchard or vineyard | Approximately five to ten acres and an appropriate tree or vine density may be considered case by case. | Planting density, maintenance, irrigation, harvest and sales. |
| Beekeeping | State law and the guidelines generally use land between five and twenty acres. | Hive count, placement, management, production and sales. |
| Wildlife management | Land must first qualify for open-space appraisal and follow an approved wildlife-management plan. | Plan, annual activities, photographs, maps and management records. |
Search minerals, mobile homes and business assets separately
| Property situation | What to check | Useful records |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral interest | Mineral property type, property ID, owner, lease or operator information. | Division orders, royalty statements, production information and ownership records. |
| Business personal property | Business name, DBA, situs, account, asset class, rendition and depreciation. | Asset list, original cost, age, condition, disposals and depreciation schedule. |
| Mobile home on owned land | Whether the home is included with the land or maintained as a separate account. | Statement of Ownership, serial number, deed, photographs and installation information. |
| Mobile home on leased land | Personal-property owner, park or site address and landowner. | Statement of Ownership, lease, serial number and location records. |
| Dealer inventory | Correct dealer category, declaration and monthly statements. | Sales, inventory and filed declaration records. |
| Utility or industrial property | Property category, situs, appraisal method and account ownership. | Asset schedules, engineering reports and depreciation evidence. |
Fix a missing or confusing Comanche CAD result
| Problem | Likely reason | Practical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Owner search shows nothing | The record may use initials, a spouse, trust, estate, business or previous owner. | Search the last name only, then try the property ID or geographic ID. |
| Too many owner matches | The name is common or connected to multiple accounts. | Add address, property type, city, legal description or ID. |
| Full address fails | The record may use a different suffix, direction, city or rural format. | Search only the street name, then add the number. |
| Rural tract is missing | The parcel may be indexed by abstract, survey, legal description or geographic ID. | Use Advanced Search and the interactive map. |
| Mineral account is missing | The mineral interest may be separate from the surface land account. | Select the mineral property type and search owner or property ID. |
| Mobile home is not shown with the land | The home may be personal property or under a separate account. | Search mobile-home and personal-property categories. |
| New buyer is not listed | The deed may still be processing or ownership documentation may be incomplete. | Confirm the recorded instrument with the County Clerk and contact CAD. |
| Acreage does not match | The account may not reflect a recent split, combination or survey correction. | Compare the deed, plat, survey and property map. |
| CAD and tax account differ | The two systems perform different jobs or update at different times. | Match the property ID and contact the office controlling the disputed field. |
