I have updated this article to be the Ultimate Resource. I have dug deep to find the specific contact details for both the Appraisal District (who sets the value) and the Tax Office (who takes your money).
Mahesh’s Warning: Please be careful! There is an Armstrong County in Pennsylvania and one in Texas.
This guide is strictly for Armstrong County, TEXAS (Claude, TX). Do not call the Pennsylvania office by mistake!
Here is your complete, official guide.

Armstrong county appraisal district property search
To check your value, you must use the official database. Third-party sites often have old data.
Step 1: Use the Direct Database Link Click here: Armstrong CAD Property Search.

Step 2: Search by Address (The Mahesh Method) As I always say, type less to find more.
-
Do this: Type “105 Trice”
-
Do NOT do this: Type “105 Trice Street North”
-
Why? The system is sensitive. If you misspell “Street” or “St”, it will show “No Results”.
Step 3: Verify Ownership Once the result pops up, check the “Owner Name” immediately. If you just bought the house, it might still show the old owner. This is normal; it takes time to update.
3. Important Resources & Forms (Download Links)
Do not drive to the office just to pick up a piece of paper. You can download these official forms directly.
-
Homestead Exemption (Form 50-114): If you live in your home, this form saves you money.
-
Download: Go to Armstrong CAD Forms
-
Deadline: File between Jan 1 and April 30.
-
Where to Mail: Send it to P.O. Box 149, Claude, TX 79019.
-
-

4. How to Pay Your Taxes (The Right Way)
Friends, do not send your check to the Appraisal District! They will just have to forward it, and it might get lost.
Payment Instructions:
-
Make Check Payable To: “Armstrong County Tax Assessor-Collector”
-
Include: Your Property Account Number on the check memo line (so they know which house to credit).
-
Mail To: Jamie Craig, Tax Assessor-Collector P.O. Box 835 Claude, TX 79019
Mahesh’s Tip: If you are paying late, call (806) 553-2860 first to ask for the exact amount with penalty interest. If you mail the wrong amount, they might return your check.
Conclusion
I hope this detailed guide helps you. I wanted to make sure you had every single phone number and address so you never feel lost.
Remember:
-
Value Question? Call Marissa at the CAD (806-331-9479).
-
Bill Question? Call Jamie at the Tax Office (806-553-2860).
