Ochiltree County, Texas · Real estate, mineral, personal property, taxes, exemptions and protests

Find the Correct Ochiltree County Account Before You File, Protest or Pay

Ochiltree CAD’s database covers more than homes and land. It includes real estate, mineral interests, oil-and-gas leases, industrial property and business personal property, each with different search clues and record details.

The county Tax Assessor-Collector does not collect property taxes. Start with Ochiltree CAD for appraisal records, exemptions, protests, tax-due information and the official payment route. Use the County Clerk for deeds, liens, releases and certified land records.

Ochiltree County Appraisal District property search with Basic Search, By Owner, By Property, All Criteria and Advanced Search
Existing Ochiltree CAD image retained from the original article. Open the live official website because fields, notices and service availability can change.
Main search box Enter an owner name, owner ID, property ID or simplified address.
Basic Search Use this for a quick owner, ID or address lookup when you have one strong detail.
By Owner Search LASTNAME FIRSTNAME, owner ID, care-of name, street, city, state or ZIP code.
By Property Use property ID, geographic ID, address, legal description, abstract, subdivision or lease details.
All Criteria Combine property, owner, location, agent and protest-status fields for a difficult account.
Advanced Search Filter by land acres, value range, field category and other combinations.
Do not assume one search covers every ownership interest. Repeat the search under Real Estate, Mineral and Personal Property when the property includes land, oil-and-gas interests or business assets.
Property-record decoder

Understand what each Ochiltree CAD field tells you

Use each field as a clue to the correct appraisal, payment or legal record
Field What it identifies What it does not prove Best next action
Property ID The account identifier used by Ochiltree CAD. That every outside system uses the same number. Save it before filing, paying or calling.
Geographic ID A parcel or geographic reference associated with the property. A surveyed legal boundary. Compare it with the BIS map, deed and survey.
Owner shown The owner carried for appraisal and collection purposes. Clear title, every heir, lien status or mineral ownership. Search County Clerk records when legal ownership matters.
Property type Whether the account is Real Estate, Mineral or Personal Property. That every related interest is included in that account. Repeat the search under other property types when needed.
Legal description The abstract, section, block, subdivision, lot or tract reference shown by OCAD. That the abbreviated description is sufficient for a deed. Review the recorded instrument and survey.
Lease name or number The oil, gas or mineral lease reference associated with an account. Complete mineral title, royalty decimal or division-order accuracy. Contact the mineral-ownership specialist when necessary.
Market value OCAD’s opinion of market value as of January 1. A guaranteed sale price or final tax bill. Compare property data, sales, production or equal-appraisal evidence.
Appraised value Value after an applicable limitation or special appraisal. The taxable value used by every taxing unit. Continue to exemptions and taxing-unit values.
Tax due A balance shown through the CAD search or collection record. A final payoff after recent payments, penalties or adjustments. Confirm the live amount before submitting payment.
Protest status A status such as new, open, field, closed, pending or hold. That the hearing date or filing requirement has not changed. Use the hearing search and official notice.
Search troubleshooting

Fix an Ochiltree CAD search that shows no result

Try the next search route before assuming the account is missing
Problem Likely reason Practical fix
Owner name returns nothing The account may use initials, an estate, trust, partnership, company or different order. Use LASTNAME FIRSTNAME, last name only, owner ID or property ID.
Too many results appear The search term is broad or includes multiple property types. Add tax year, property type, city, geographic ID or legal description.
Address search fails Rural, industrial or county-road property may not use a standard postal address. Search by owner, property ID, geographic ID, abstract, subdivision or map.
Mineral interest is not found Minerals can be separate from the surface estate and indexed by lease or owner. Select Mineral and search the lease name, lease number or owner.
Business property is missing Assets may be carried under a DBA, parent company or Personal Property account. Select Personal Property and search business-name variations.
Recent buyer still sees seller The recorded deed may not yet have completed processing into OCAD. Confirm recording with the Clerk and save the document number.
Tax balance appears wrong A payment, adjustment, penalty or posting may not yet be reflected. Contact OCAD collections with the receipt, account and tax year.
Service page shows maintenance The OCAD platform may temporarily lock forms or another service page. Return through the homepage, retry later or call 806-435-9623.
OCAD call script
I am researching property ID [number] / geographic ID [number] for tax year [year]. I am searching under [Real Estate, Mineral or Personal Property]. The account currently shows [owner, lease, value, exemption or balance issue]. Which search field, document or department should I use next?
Oil, gas and industrial property

Search mineral interests separately from the surface estate

Important ownership rule: a person can own the surface land without owning all minerals, and a mineral owner can have multiple accounts connected to different leases or operators.
Lease search

Select Mineral and search the lease name or lease number exactly as shown on a statement, division order or prior tax record.

Owner search

Try the mineral owner, trust, estate, company or royalty entity—not only the surface-property owner.

Multiple accounts

One owner may have separate interests by lease, well, property ID, operator or ownership decimal.

Value review

Check the tax year, production or reserve assumptions, ownership interest and supporting appraisal information.

Ownership correction

Prepare recorded documents, probate information, assignments and current division-order details.

Surface versus mineral

Do not use the surface land account as proof that the same person owns the minerals beneath it.

Business personal property

Search and prepare an Ochiltree County business-property rendition

A business-personal-property account can be separate from the land or building. Search under Personal Property using the business name, DBA, owner ID, property ID or business location.

Assets to report

Inventory, furniture, machinery, equipment, computers, tools, vehicles and leased assets used to produce income.

January 1 location

Confirm where each asset was located or normally used on January 1 of the appraisal year.

Supporting documents

Keep acquisition dates, original costs, depreciation schedules, lease records and disposal information.

Current Texas deadline: the normal 2026 business-personal-property rendition deadline was April 15. A timely written extension can provide additional time. Do not rely on an older local FAQ that shows a former April 1 deadline.
Open OCAD rendition forms Open current Texas forms
Value explanation

Do not confuse market value, appraised value and taxable value

VALUE 1 Market value

OCAD’s opinion of the property’s normal market value as of January 1.

VALUE 2 Appraised value

The value after an applicable appraisal limitation or special valuation calculation.

VALUE 3 Taxable value

The value remaining after exemptions for each taxing unit attached to the account.

Do not calculate the tax bill from market value alone. The amount depends on taxable values, adopted tax rates, exemptions, ceilings, special appraisals, mineral ownership, penalties and payment history.

Taxing units that may appear on an Ochiltree account

County and cities

Ochiltree County, City of Perryton and other applicable municipal jurisdictions.

School districts

Perryton ISD, Booker ISD or Spearman ISD may appear depending on the parcel location.

Special districts

Ochiltree County Hospital District, North Plains Groundwater Conservation District and Frank Phillips College District may apply.

OCAD’s homepage may display the prior year’s adopted rates while the current-year budget and rate process is underway. Use the property-specific tax-notice portal for proposed and adopted rate information.

2026 tax-year timing: most Texas property-tax bills are due when received and normally may be paid without delinquency through January 31. January 31, 2027 falls on Sunday, so Texas weekend rules generally allow payment on Monday, February 1, with delinquency beginning afterward. Confirm the date printed on the OCAD bill because late or corrected bills can have a different date.
Do not pay from an advertisement, unsolicited email or text message. Begin at Ochiltree CAD or use the exact official Certified Payments link above.

2026 protest workflow

File and organise an Ochiltree County appraisal protest

Normal 2026 filing rule: a written protest was due before May 15 or within 30 days after OCAD delivered the Notice of Appraised Value, whichever date was later.
The normal 2026 deadline has passed for most property owners. A later-delivered notice, missing required notice, ownership error or another statutory situation may create a different remedy. Contact OCAD immediately.
Save the appraisal notice and account Record the property ID, property type, value, exemption status, mailing date and printed protest deadline.
Identify the exact protest issue Common issues include market value, unequal appraisal, property inclusion, exemption denial, non-homestead limitation, agricultural denial, change of use, ownership or incorrect taxing units.
Open the official protest system Open Ochiltree CAD Online Protest
Request the account PIN when required OCAD provides a unique online account PIN for the property. Request an OCAD PIN
Keep proof of filing Save the portal confirmation, email, postal tracking, fax report or stamped office copy.

Required notice was not sent A hearing may be available when OCAD failed to send a legally required notice. Address and mailing evidence can matter.
Clerical or ownership error Limited correction motions may apply to clerical errors, multiple appraisals, nonexistent property or incorrect ownership.
Qualifying substantial over-appraisal Texas law provides a limited post-deadline motion for certain substantially over-appraised property, subject to strict eligibility and payment rules.
Late exemption application Certain homestead, age, disability, veteran and other applications have separate late-filing provisions.
Appeal after ARB order Arbitration, court or another appeal route may have a short deadline after the written ARB order is received.
A normal disagreement with value does not automatically qualify for a late remedy. Call OCAD promptly and obtain legal or professional advice when the tax amount is significant.

Record corrections

Correct the Ochiltree County system that owns the inaccurate information

Incorrect appraisal owner Confirm the deed, assignment, probate or heirship document and ask OCAD what proof it requires.
Incorrect mailing address Contact OCAD with the property ID, current owner name and corrected mailing information.
Incorrect legal description or acreage Compare the account with the recorded deed, plat and professional survey.
Incorrect mineral owner or decimal Prepare recorded assignments, probate documents, division orders and current operator information.
Incorrect business assets Provide rendition schedules, acquisition records, disposal documents and location information.
Incorrect payment balance Contact OCAD collections with the receipt, confirmation, amount, property ID and tax year.
A correction request does not automatically preserve protest rights. File the applicable protest or motion when the issue is protestable and a statutory deadline applies.
Recorded property documents

Use the Ochiltree County Clerk for deeds, liens and certified copies

The County Clerk explains that its staff is not required to perform general Official Public Records searches. Property owners can search the authorised online portal themselves and contact the Clerk after locating the document number or volume and page.
Open the official County Clerk page Open Ochiltree County Clerk

Ochiltree County Clerk record-search guidance
Record detail Published guidance What to do
Online record coverage All county records are scanned, with full indexing back to July 1974. Search party names for July 1974 forward.
Records before July 1974 A volume and page reference is generally needed. Use prior documents, an abstract, title records or in-person research.
Search method Use Both Names and enter one party’s last name. Try grantor, grantee, spouse, estate, trust and company variations.
Regular online copy $1 per page Verify the document before checkout.
Certified copy $1 per page plus $5 certification Contact the Clerk with the document number or volume and page.
2026 recording fees The Clerk publishes a new fee schedule effective January 1, 2026. Open the current fee schedule before submitting a document.
A public-record search is not a guaranteed title examination. Use a title company or qualified Texas lawyer when ownership, mineral title, liens, easements, probate or marketable title affects a transaction.
Buyer, heir and new-owner checks

Complete these checks before relying on the current property record

Confirm parcel identity

Match property ID, geographic ID, legal description, acreage and map location.

Search all property types

Review Real Estate, Mineral and Personal Property when the transaction involves more than land.

Check tax status

Confirm current and delinquent years, payments, penalties and the correct OCAD account.

Search deed history

Review deeds, liens, releases, assignments and probate documents.

Investigate mineral ownership

Do not assume minerals transfer with the surface without reviewing the deed and title records.

Recalculate exemptions

The seller’s homestead, age, disability or veteran benefits may not transfer.

Review agricultural status

Confirm qualifying use and possible additional tax before changing the land.

Inspect property characteristics

Compare buildings, acreage, condition, completion and business assets with the actual property.

Keep the closing file

Save the deed, title policy, survey, tax receipt, closing statement and exemption filing confirmation.

The current owner’s tax amount may not predict the buyer’s future bill. Ownership changes can affect homestead caps, exemptions, special appraisal, mineral accounts and taxable value.
Certified rolls and public data

Use OCAD data files for broader property research

The normal property search is best for one account. The Records, Data and Reports section is more useful for certified rolls, appraisal plans, annual reports, mass-appraisal reports, exemption lists and tax-rate worksheets.

2026 certified real and personal roll

OCAD publishes geographic-order PDF, alphabetical PDF and Excel versions.

Mineral appraisal rolls

Prior certified mineral-roll files help with broader lease and ownership research.

Mass appraisal reports

Review appraisal methods, property categories and district-wide valuation practices.

This version retains the property-search screenshot and editor image used in the existing article. It replaces the shorter guidance with separate workflows for real estate, mineral interests, industrial ownership, business property, agricultural land, tax collection, protests, ARB hearings, deed research and certified appraisal data.

The review used Ochiltree County Appraisal District, the Texas Comptroller county directory, Ochiltree County Tax Assessor-Collector and Ochiltree County Clerk resources.

Accuracy, affiliation and official-use notice

AppraisalDistrict.org is an independent informational resource. It is not Ochiltree County Appraisal District, the Ochiltree County Appraisal Review Board, Ochiltree County, the Tax Assessor-Collector, the County Clerk, Pritchard & Abbott or the Texas Comptroller.

Owners, mineral interests, values, exemptions, acreage, protest status, tax balances, payment fees, office hours, forms and deadlines can change. Verify the live official record before filing, paying, travelling, buying, selling or making a legal or financial decision.

Appraisal maps, owner names, lease information, acreage and abbreviated legal descriptions should not replace a recorded deed, mineral-title examination, division order, plat or professional survey.
