Search an Irion County mineral interest without confusing it with the surface tract

Irion CAD states that mineral, utility and industrial accounts are appraised for the district by Thomas Y. Pickett & Company, while real estate and personal-property accounts are appraised locally by the district.
Select MINERAL as the property type This removes many unrelated real-estate and business-property accounts from the result list.
Search by Property ID or Geo ID Use the identifier from the appraisal notice, tax statement, royalty documentation or prior-year account when available.
Try the lease number and lease name A lease search can work better than a surface address because mineral accounts are often organised around the lease.
Search the mineral owner separately Try the owner name, trust, estate, company or owner ID. A royalty owner may not be the surface owner.
Compare the legal description Review the abstract, survey, section, block, tract or other land reference connected to the mineral account.
Review ownership interest and value Confirm the owner, fractional interest, property year, market value and tax entities before using the record.
Search related accounts One lease can produce several owner accounts, and one owner can have interests in several leases.
Save the complete result Keep the property ID, lease information, owner interest, value and date viewed before contacting the appraiser or collector.
Mineral-account problems and the best search response
Problem Why it happens What to try
Royalty account is missing The record may be under a trust, estate, prior owner, operator or different spelling. Owner ID, Property ID, Geo ID, lease name and legal description.
Surface owner appears but minerals do not Surface and mineral ownership are separate legal interests. Switch the property-type filter from REAL to MINERAL.
One lease shows several records Separate owners or fractional interests can have separate accounts. Compare owner, interest, property ID, legal description and year.
Value changed sharply Production, reserves, pricing, ownership or appraisal inputs may have changed. Request the appraisal basis and prepare production or ownership documentation.
Recently transferred interest is outdated Recorded ownership documents may not yet be processed into the appraisal account. Confirm the recorded instrument and contact the district with documentation.

Understand the Irion CAD account before acting on it

Each account field answers a different question
Account field What it helps identify What it does not prove Best next action
Property type REAL, MINERAL or PERSONAL account classification. That every related interest or asset is in the same account. Search other property types when something appears missing.
Property ID The individual Irion CAD appraisal account. That an outside tax or deed system uses the same number. Save it for calls, filings and payment verification.
Geo ID Geographic or parcel-related indexing information. A surveyed legal boundary. Compare it with the map, deed and survey.
Owner shown The owner maintained for appraisal administration. Complete legal title or every mineral interest. Use County Clerk records when ownership matters.
Legal description The abstract, survey, section, block, tract, lot or other legal reference. That the abbreviated CAD text is sufficient for conveyance. Obtain the recorded deed or full legal description.
Lease number or name The oil-and-gas or mineral lease connected to an account. Current production, payment or complete ownership. Compare with operator, royalty and recorded-document information.
Market value The district’s opinion of market value as of January 1. A guaranteed sale price or final tax bill. Compare condition, sales, production or equal-appraisal evidence.
Appraised value Value after an applicable statutory limitation. The value after every exemption. Continue to taxable value by taxing entity.
Productivity or 1-d-1 value The special appraisal applied to qualifying agricultural land. That the qualification will continue after a sale or use change. Confirm qualification, history and intended future use.
Taxable value Value after applicable exemptions for a taxing entity. The live balance, payment status or penalty amount. Contact the Tax Assessor-Collector or review the official statement.
Value explanation

Separate market, appraised and taxable value

STEP 1 Market value

The appraisal district’s estimate of market value as of January 1 for the selected tax year.

STEP 2 Appraised value

The value after an applicable statutory limit, such as a qualifying homestead cap or circuit-breaker limitation.

STEP 3 Taxable value

The value remaining after exemptions. It may differ for the county, school, city and water district.

Do not estimate the final bill from market value alone. The amount depends on taxable value, exemptions, ceilings, adopted tax rates, corrections, penalties and payment history.

Who appraises each type of property?

Real estate and personal property

Irion CAD states that real-estate and personal-property accounts are appraised locally by the district.

Mineral, utility and industrial property

The district states that these specialised accounts are appraised by Thomas Y. Pickett & Company.

2026 verification: the portal allows selection of the 2026 tax year. During the appraisal season, compare the online record with the Notice of Appraised Value and later check the certified appraisal record before treating the number as final.
Non-homestead circuit breaker: qualifying real property below the 2026 statutory value threshold may receive a 20% assessed-value limitation. The 2026 maximum eligibility value is $5,320,000, and the current statute is scheduled to expire after the 2026 tax year unless extended.
Search troubleshooting

Fix an Irion CAD search that returns no result

Switch fields before assuming the account does not exist
Problem Likely reason Practical fix
Owner name finds nothing The record may use a trust, estate, spouse, business, operator or different name order. Search the last name or one organisation word, then try owner ID.
Address search fails Rural land or mineral records may not have a standard situs address. Use Property ID, Geo ID, abstract, legal description or owner.
Mineral interest is missing The search is still filtered for REAL property. Select MINERAL and search lease, owner, legal or property identifiers.
Business account is missing The account may be under a DBA, owner or PERSONAL property type. Select PERSONAL and try the business name, owner ID or Property ID.
Too many accounts appear The owner has several tracts, leases or mineral interests. Add property type, Geo ID, abstract, lease name or legal description.
Recently transferred record is outdated The deed or mineral conveyance may still be processing. Confirm recording and send the district the requested ownership documents.
Tax due filter shows nothing The wrong year is selected, the payment posted or the account is not in that filter. Check the tax year and contact the Tax Assessor-Collector for the live balance.
Parcel split is not visible The child accounts may not yet be available publicly. Search the parent account and contact CAD with the deed or survey.

Irion County situations

Use a different workflow for each local property type

Mertzon residence

Search the street address or Property ID, then confirm the homestead exemption and City of Mertzon taxing line.

Rural ranch tract

Search the owner, abstract, legal description, Geo ID and map rather than relying on a road address.

Open-space land

Review market value, productivity value, acreage, category code and 1-d-1 qualification separately.

Mineral or royalty interest

Select MINERAL and search the lease name, lease number, owner interest and legal description.

Utility or industrial account

Confirm the specialised property type, appraiser, taxable situs and relevant taxing entities.

Business personal property

Select PERSONAL and review the business name, location, rendered assets and appraisal year.

Inherited property

Search the deceased owner, estate, heirs, trust and related deed or probate records.

Manufactured home

Determine whether the home and land are separate accounts and whether the ownership documentation is current.

Buyer due diligence

Search real property, related mineral interests, tax balances, deed history, exemptions and agricultural status.

Office routing

Use Irion CAD, the Tax Office or County Clerk for the correct task

Several offices share the courthouse address but control different records
Your question Correct office What to prepare
What is the appraised value? Irion County Appraisal District Property type, Property ID, Geo ID, tax year and disputed value.
Why is an exemption missing? Irion County Appraisal District Application, identification, qualification date and filing proof.
How was a mineral account valued? Start with Irion CAD Property ID, lease, owner interest, production or appraisal documents.
How much property tax is due? Irion County Tax Assessor-Collector Tax account, property ID, year, owner and statement.
Did my payment post? Irion County Tax Assessor-Collector Receipt, payment date, amount, cheque or confirmation information.
Who legally owns the land? Irion County Clerk or title professional Grantor, grantee, legal description, date and instrument number.
Where can I find a lien or deed? Irion County Clerk Names, recording period, legal description and document type.
Is the parcel boundary correct? Surveyor, County Clerk records and title professional Deed, survey, plat and metes-and-bounds description.
Who sets the tax rate? Each taxing unit The property’s taxing-entity list and current tax-rate worksheet.
Account corrections

Correct the record that actually contains the error

Appraisal owner is incorrect Confirm the recorded deed, probate, mineral conveyance or ownership document and provide it to Irion CAD.
Mailing address is incorrect Update the appraisal record and separately confirm that the Tax Assessor-Collector has the correct billing address.
Legal description or acreage is wrong Prepare the recorded deed, survey, plat or complete metes-and-bounds description.
Improvement details are wrong Prepare measurements, photographs, plans, permits or repair evidence showing the correct facts.
Lease or mineral owner is wrong Prepare the recorded mineral deed, assignment, probate document, division order or other ownership evidence.
Payment balance is wrong Contact the Tax Assessor-Collector with the receipt, statement, tax year and payment details.
Correction and protest are different tools. A correction updates inaccurate account information. A protest challenges an appraisal-district action such as value, unequal appraisal, exemption denial or special-appraisal denial.
Homestead and exemption forms

File an Irion County exemption with the complete supporting documents

Use the official Irion CAD forms page. The district publishes residence-homestead, disabled-veteran, business-rendition, agricultural-use and electronic-delivery forms.
Open the official forms page Open Irion CAD Forms
Select the correct application Use the Residence Homestead Exemption Application, Disabled Veteran’s Exemption Application or another category-specific form.
Confirm the property account Enter the owner, property address, Property ID and legal description exactly as shown by Irion CAD.
Attach the required identification Irion CAD states that all homestead applications must include the applicant’s driver’s licence or other information required by the Texas Property Tax Code.
Complete an affidavit when required Certain situations require an affidavit or different ownership and identification evidence.
Mail or deliver the application The forms page lists Irion County Appraisal District, P.O. Box 980, Mertzon, Texas 76941-0980.
Keep proof of filing Save the complete form, attachments and certified-mail receipt or stamped copy.
Recheck the property account Confirm that the exemption appears for the correct tax year and taxing entities after approval.
Residence homestead

For the owner’s principal residence. Confirm ownership, occupancy and identification requirements.

Age 65 or older

Can provide additional exemption benefits, a school-tax ceiling and qualifying payment options.

Disabled person

Requires qualification under the applicable disability standard and supporting documentation.

Disabled veteran

The exemption amount depends on the VA disability category and the applicable form.

Surviving spouse

Eligibility may depend on age, remarriage, residence and the deceased spouse’s prior qualification.

Electronic delivery

Use the official electronic-communications request when you prefer eligible tax communications electronically.

Late homestead filing may still be available. Current Texas guidance allows a residence-homestead application to be filed up to two years after the date the taxes become delinquent. Other exemptions have separate late-filing rules.
Open exemption forms Check current Texas forms
1-d-1 agricultural appraisal

Review ranch and open-space land separately from a normal exemption

Agricultural appraisal is a special valuation based on qualifying productivity use. It is not granted merely because a property is large, rural or called a ranch.

Confirm the qualifying history Prepare evidence showing prior agricultural use during the statutory history period.
Document the current operation Use leases, livestock records, production information, photographs, maps, receipts and management records.

Evidence matched to the account type

Use evidence that directly relates to the issue being protested
Property type Useful evidence Common weak argument
Home or improvement Comparable sales, dated photographs, measurements, repair estimates and inspection findings. The tax bill is too high without identifying an appraisal error.
Ranch or rural land Sales, access limitations, topography, survey, acreage, water, fencing and land-use evidence. All acreage should have the same per-acre value.
Mineral interest Production records, ownership documents, lease information, decline evidence and appraisal inputs. The surface tract value proves the mineral value.
Business personal property Asset list, acquisition dates, original cost, condition, disposal records and inventory information. A total estimate without supporting asset records.
Exemption or ag use Application, filing proof, ID, ownership, qualification history and agricultural-use documentation. The property qualified in a different county or under a prior owner.
Open online protest Request account PIN Review Texas protest rights

Written notice

The owner should receive hearing information explaining the date, time, subject and participation method.

Tax-year decision

The ARB order applies to the protested tax year and should be saved for any further appeal.

Review the hearing notice Confirm whether the hearing is in person, by telephone, remotely, through an agent or by affidavit.
Number every exhibit Use short labels such as Photograph 1, Comparable 2, Survey 3 or Production Record 4.
Put the strongest evidence first Begin with the evidence that most directly proves the requested value or correction.

Listen to the district evidence Note inaccurate property facts, unsuitable comparables, unsupported adjustments or missing ownership information.
Read and preserve the written order Review the order immediately and note any deadline for arbitration, district-court appeal or another remedy.

Bills, balances and payment verification

Confirm the Irion County tax account before sending payment

The Texas Comptroller directory identifies Irion County as the collecting unit and lists consolidated service for Irion County, Irion County Independent School District, the City of Mertzon and the Irion County Water Conservation District.
No clearly labelled public online property-tax payment button was visible on the county Tax Assessor-Collector page during this review. Do not use a third-party payment result merely because it appears in search. Call the official office or follow the instructions printed on the current tax statement.
Open the appraisal account first Confirm the Property ID, owner, property type, tax year and taxing entities. Search the property account
Use the correct tax year A current balance, prior-year delinquency and mineral account may appear separately.

Contact the official Tax Assessor-Collector Call (325) 835-7771 and have the property account, year and statement ready.
Ask which payment methods are currently accepted Confirm in-person, mail, telephone or online availability and any service fee before providing payment details.
Use the tax-office mailing address General tax-office mail should use P.O. Box 859, Mertzon, Texas 76941-0859 rather than the CAD’s P.O. Box 980.
Save payment proof Keep the receipt, cheque copy, confirmation number, amount, account and tax year.
Recheck the account after processing Confirm that payment posted to the correct property, year and taxing units.
Property-tax checks before submitting payment

Buyer, owner and heir review

Complete these checks before relying on an Irion County property record

Match the surface parcel

Confirm the Property ID, Geo ID, legal description, map location and acreage.

Search mineral accounts

Determine whether mineral or royalty interests are separate from the surface ownership.

Check the tax balance

Verify current and delinquent amounts directly with the Tax Assessor-Collector.

Review deed history

Search recorded deeds, mineral instruments, liens and releases through the County Clerk.

Recalculate future taxes

The seller’s exemptions, cap, ceiling or agricultural appraisal may not continue.

Identify taxing entities

Review county, school, city and water-conservation taxing lines connected to the account.

Verify agricultural status

Confirm qualifying history and ask whether the planned use could create additional tax liability.

Check separate business assets

A purchase can involve personal-property accounts that are not part of the real-estate account.

Save closing or heirship records

Keep the deed, title policy, survey, probate documents, tax statements and exemption filing proof.

The current tax bill may not predict the buyer’s future bill. Ownership changes can affect exemptions, caps, tax ceilings, agricultural appraisal and account responsibility.

Accuracy, ownership and official-use notice

AppraisalDistrict.org is an independent informational resource. It is not Irion County Appraisal District, the Irion County Appraisal Review Board, Irion County, the Tax Assessor-Collector, the County Clerk, the Texas Comptroller, a mineral appraiser, surveyor or title company.

Property owners, values, mineral interests, exemptions, account details, tax balances, payment methods, officeholders, forms and deadlines can change. Verify the live official record before paying, filing, buying, selling or making a legal, mineral, title or financial decision.

Appraisal maps, Geo IDs, acreage and abbreviated legal descriptions are provided for appraisal research and should not replace a recorded deed, mineral instrument, title examination or professional survey.
