Start with Presidio County Appraisal District when you need a property ID, geographic ID, appraisal owner, legal description, land and improvement details, market value, exemptions, agricultural valuation, map or protest information.

Continue to the Presidio County Tax Assessor-Collector for a live bill, payment, penalty or receipt. Use the County Clerk, a title professional and a surveyor when the question involves deeds, liens, heir property, mineral ownership, legal acreage or boundaries.

2026 NOTICES 11 MAY

Presidio CAD announced a special 2026 protest instruction

The district states that 2026 appraisal notices were mailed May 11, 2026 and that homestead owners can only file an online protest.

A homestead owner should use the official Taxpayer Portal rather than mailing a protest without confirmation. Contact Presidio CAD immediately when login access, internet service, language, disability, ownership or notice information creates a filing problem.

Open the online protest portal Read the official 2026 notice
Presidio CAD does not collect property taxes, and its public map is not a survey. Use the appraisal district for values, exemptions, property characteristics and protests. Use the Tax Office for bills and payments. Use recorded documents and professional services for ownership, title, minerals, acreage and boundaries.
Best rural search

Use the property ID, geographic ID, owner entity, abstract or legal description.

Start with your goal

What are you trying to do with the Presidio County property?

FIND A PROPERTY Search the appraisal account

Use Owner, Address, ID or Advanced Search, then confirm the property ID and legal description.

Follow the search steps
RURAL OR RANCH LAND Use more than an address

Match owner, geographic ID, abstract, acreage, map and recorded documents.

Review rural-property guidance
PROTEST A HOMESTEAD Use the 2026 online portal

Presidio CAD states that homestead owners can only file an online protest.

Protect the protest deadline
CHECK AN EXEMPTION Review taxable-value lines

Confirm the exemption for the correct property, tax year and taxing unit.

Use the exemption center
PAY PROPERTY TAX Leave the CAD database

Use the county payment portal for the live balance, fee, payment and receipt.

Follow the payment workflow
CHECK DEED OR TITLE Use recorded records

CAD ownership is helpful for appraisal research but does not replace a title search.

Review legal-record steps
Three-record verification

Use the appraisal account, tax ledger and recorded document together

Presidio CAD account

Use for property identity, appraisal owner, characteristics, values, exemptions, agricultural appraisal and protest information.

County tax ledger

Use for the live amount due, delinquent balance, payment status, penalties, interest and receipt.

Recorded title documents

Use for deeds, liens, releases, probate transfers, easements, mineral reservations and legal ownership.

A buyer, heir or owner correcting a record may need all three. Matching one owner name is not enough when the parcel, tax account or legal description differs.

Go directly to the Presidio County task

The first sections solve property search and verification. Later sections cover exemptions, protests, tax payments, heir property, tax-sale listings and local offices.

Existing article image reused

Use the Presidio CAD screenshot to recognise the live portal

The property-search image already published in the existing article is preserved below. The displayed tax year and interface may change, so use the image as a navigation guide rather than a current property record.

1. By Owner Start with the last name or one distinctive trust, estate, ranch or business word.
2. By Address Use the street name alone when the complete rural or city address fails.
3. By ID Use the exact property ID from a notice, prior account or tax statement.
4. ARB Search Use for protest status, informal dates, hearing dates and related review information.
5. Advanced Search Narrow the results by property type, abstract, subdivision, owner ID, geographic ID, neighborhood or tax year.

Advanced search routes

Choose the search field that matches the Presidio County property

Official Presidio CAD search filters and their best use
Search field Use it when What to verify
Owner name You know a person, spouse, estate, trust, ranch entity, LLC or DBA. Try one name component and compare all matching parcels.
Property ID You copied the appraisal identifier from a notice or prior account. Confirm property type, legal description and tax year.
Street number and name The property has a normal Marfa or Presidio situs address. Remove suffixes, directions and unit information when necessary.
Abstract Rural acreage is described through a survey or abstract. Match deed references, acreage and adjoining tracts.
Subdivision The property is in a platted addition or development. Match lot, block, phase and legal description.
Property type You need to separate real, personal, mobile-home, mineral or other accounts. Related property interests may be assessed separately.
Owner ID You need to find multiple accounts connected to one appraisal owner identifier. Do not combine accounts until each property is confirmed.
Geographic ID You are matching the appraisal account with map or parcel data. It does not replace a deed, plat or survey.
Neighborhood You are researching equal appraisal or CAD grouping. A CAD neighborhood is not automatically a subdivision or sales market.
ARB fields You need protest status, informal date, hearing date or board information. The written hearing notice controls the appointment.
Property-account decoder

Understand what each Presidio CAD field does and does not prove

Use the appraisal account as a route to the controlling record
Field What it identifies What it does not prove Best next action
Property ID The account in Presidio CAD’s appraisal system. That every county system uses the same identifier. Use it when contacting CAD and matching the tax account.
Owner shown The person or entity carried for appraisal administration. Complete legal title, lien status or mineral ownership. Review recorded documents when ownership matters.
Situs address The physical location used by the appraisal district when one is assigned. The mailing address or complete legal description. Compare it with the map and deed.
Legal description An abbreviated lot, block, tract, abstract or subdivision reference. A complete description suitable for a deed or boundary decision. Obtain the recorded deed, plat or survey.
Acreage The acreage carried for appraisal purposes. Surveyed or legally guaranteed acreage. Compare the deed, field notes and survey.
Market value CAD’s opinion of market value as of January 1. A guaranteed sale price or final tax bill. Review property facts, sales and equal-appraisal evidence.
Appraised value Value after an applicable appraisal limitation or special valuation. The value after all exemptions. Continue to the taxable-value lines.
Taxable value The value remaining after exemptions for a taxing unit. The live amount due, penalties or payment status. Open the county payment portal.
Land and improvements CAD’s record of land class, structures, area, use and condition. That every measurement or characteristic is correct. Document errors with photos, measurements and records.
Exemptions Homestead, age, disability, veteran or other exemptions applied. That every taxing unit applies the same exemption amount. Review each taxing-unit taxable value separately.
The official search states that 2026 values are preliminary until certification. Save the date viewed and recheck the account after a correction, settlement or ARB decision.
Interactive map

Use the Presidio CAD map to locate remote acreage and neighbouring parcels

Open the official interactive map Open Presidio CAD Interactive Map
Locate the property with a known identifier Use the property ID, geographic ID, owner, abstract or legal description where supported.
Compare roads and surrounding tracts Check the selected parcel’s approximate shape, road access, adjoining accounts and location relative to Marfa, Presidio or rural landmarks.
Return to the full appraisal account Confirm that the map parcel and property record share the correct identifiers.
Use legal records for legal conclusions Obtain the deed, plat, title evidence and professional survey before relying on acreage or boundaries.
The public map is not a survey, title report or access guarantee. Do not use it by itself to place a fence, divide land, prove a road easement, establish mineral ownership or resolve an encroachment.
Local property situations

Search tips for Marfa, Presidio and remote Big Bend property

Marfa residence or adobe home

Review land and improvement values separately. Check building area, age, condition, remodels, exemptions and City of Marfa taxing-unit lines.

City of Presidio property

Match the street address, legal description and City of Presidio taxing unit, then use the Presidio Tax Office location when in-person help is needed.

Remote ranch or acreage

Search by owner entity, property ID, geographic ID, abstract or legal description rather than relying on a road address.

Short-term rental or commercial use

Verify the appraisal classification, improvement details, exemption eligibility and any business personal property account.

Heir or estate property

Search the deceased owner, estate, heirs and related entities. Review probate and recorded transfers before requesting an ownership change.

Manufactured or mobile home

Use the Mobile Home Park and property-type filters and determine whether the home and land have separate accounts.

Agricultural or wildlife land

Compare market value with productivity value and verify acreage, qualifying use, application status and change-of-use exposure.

Business personal property

Confirm the business name, DBA, situs, asset account, rendition status and tax year separately from the real estate.

Vacant or speculative land

Check access, legal description, subdivision status, taxing units, delinquent taxes and recorded title before trusting a low advertised price.

Ranch and open-space land

Review Presidio County rural land beyond one total value

Confirm the exact tract

Match the property ID, geographic ID, abstract, deed description, acreage and map location.

Separate market and productivity value

Agricultural or wildlife appraisal may produce a productivity value far below the land’s market value.

Review land classes

Determine whether all acres are classified and valued under the expected use.

Check structures separately

Homes, barns, sheds, commercial improvements and other structures may not receive productivity valuation.

Keep use evidence

Save grazing leases, livestock records, wildlife plans, photographs, expense records and management documentation.

Ask about change of use

A change from qualifying use may create additional taxes. Obtain current written guidance before changing use or closing a sale.

Value explanation

Separate market value, appraised value and taxable value

STEP 1 Market value

Presidio CAD’s opinion of the property’s market value as of January 1 for the tax year.

STEP 2 Appraised value

The value after an applicable appraisal limitation or qualifying special appraisal.

STEP 3 Taxable value

The value after exemptions. It can differ among the county, city, school district and special districts.

Presidio County properties may be connected to Presidio County, Marfa ISD or Presidio ISD, City of Marfa or City of Presidio, Presidio County Underground Water Conservation District and Big Bend Regional Hospital District.
Do not estimate the tax bill from market value alone. Taxable value, exemptions, appraisal limitations, adopted rates, penalties and prior payments affect the final amount.

Search troubleshooting

Fix common Presidio CAD search problems before calling

Change one search element at a time
Problem Likely reason Practical fix
Owner name returns no result The property may be under a spouse, trust, estate, ranch entity, LLC or prior owner. Search only the first or last name or one distinctive entity word.
Too many owner matches The owner has multiple tracts, personal-property accounts or related entities. Add property type, geographic ID, abstract, subdivision or tax year.
Full address fails The situs field may omit a suffix, direction, city or unit. Use only the street name, as recommended by the official portal.
Rural property has no address The tract may be indexed by owner, property ID, geographic ID, abstract or legal description. Use Advanced Search and the interactive map.
Recently purchased property shows the seller The recorded transfer may still be processing into the appraisal system. Confirm the deed recording and ask CAD which ownership proof is needed.
Inherited property is under the deceased owner Probate, heirship or recorded-transfer documents may not yet support an appraisal update. Prepare probate orders, affidavit, deed or other recorded evidence.
Mobile home is missing The home may have a separate account or be indexed through a mobile-home park. Use the property-type and Mobile Home Park filters.
CAD and tax portal do not match The systems serve different purposes or update at different times. Match the property ID and contact the office controlling the disputed field.
2026 value changed after viewing The official portal states that preliminary values can change before certification. Save dated copies and recheck after settlement, ARB or certification.

Property-record corrections

Correct the Presidio County system that owns the inaccurate field

Incorrect appraisal owner Confirm the recorded deed, probate order, heirship document or other ownership evidence and ask CAD what it requires.
Incorrect mailing address Contact Presidio CAD for the appraisal record and the Tax Office separately if the tax statement also needs correction.
Incorrect situs address Determine whether the change belongs to CAD, a city, county addressing or another local authority.
Incorrect building detail Prepare measurements, photographs, plans, permits, repair estimates or evidence of a removed improvement.
Incorrect acreage or legal description Compare the deed, plat and survey. Do not rely on a GIS screenshot as the only evidence.
Incorrect tax payment or balance Contact the Tax Office with the account, tax year, amount, payment method and receipt.
A correction is not automatically a protest. A correction addresses inaccurate account information. A protest challenges an appraisal-district action such as value, unequal appraisal, exemption denial or special-appraisal denial.
Exemptions and special valuation

Verify the Presidio County exemption on the live property account

Residence homestead

Confirm the property is the owner’s principal residence and the exemption appears for the correct year.

Age 65 or older

Review the additional school exemption, tax ceiling and possible instalment or deferral options.

Disabled person

Check qualification evidence, the additional exemption and any applicable school-tax ceiling.

Disabled veteran

Use the official disabled-veteran form and attach the required VA documentation.

Agricultural appraisal

Verify qualifying use, history, acreage, productivity value and application status.

Business and special inventory

Use the official forms for renditions, dealer inventory, heavy equipment, manufactured housing and other taxable property.

What to prepare before filing

Property ID and geographic ID
Owner name exactly as recorded
Property and mailing addresses
Texas driver licence or ID when required
Occupancy or qualification date
Age, disability or VA documentation
Deed, probate or heirship documentation
Submission confirmation or mailing proof
The state-mandated school-district residence-homestead exemption is currently $140,000. The additional school exemption for a qualifying owner age 65 or older or disabled is currently $60,000. Local-option exemptions and taxing-unit treatment may differ.
Open official Presidio CAD forms Open the Taxpayer Portal
Missed the ordinary April 30 date? Certain residence-homestead, age, disability, veteran and other filings have late-filing provisions. Contact Presidio CAD rather than assuming the benefit is permanently lost.
Homestead audit response

Do not ignore a Presidio CAD homestead audit request

Presidio CAD publishes a homestead-audit notice for property owners. An audit can ask the owner to confirm that the property remains the principal residence and that ownership and identification information still support the exemption.

1 Read the entire letter Identify the property ID, requested documents, response route and deadline.
2 Verify the sender Confirm the letter and contact information through presidiocad.org before sending identification.
3 Prepare qualification proof Use the documents requested by CAD to show ownership and principal-residence qualification.
4 Keep submission proof Save the completed response, attachments, delivery confirmation and any written CAD decision.
Protect sensitive information. Send identification only through the method confirmed by Presidio CAD. Do not respond to a look-alike email or text that requests payment, passwords or banking information.
Verify the current homestead-audit notice
2026 appraisal protests

Homestead owners: Presidio CAD states that 2026 homestead protests can only be filed online. Use the Taxpayer Portal and preserve the confirmation.
Deadline rule: most protests are due by May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal district mails the notice, whichever is later. Presidio CAD announced May 11 mailing for 2026 notices, so the exact later deadline printed on the notice is critical.

Upload focused evidence Use comparable sales, equal-appraisal examples, photographs, repair estimates, surveys, agricultural-use records or business asset information.

Match the legal description Confirm that the recorded instrument describes the same lot, block, survey, abstract, tract or acreage as the CAD account.
Request the required copy type Ask whether a plain or certified copy is needed by CAD, a lender, title company, court or government office.
Use a title professional for conclusions A name search does not guarantee clear title or identify every easement, mineral reservation, lien or probate issue.

Tax-sale and bid properties

Research a Presidio County bid property before treating it as a bargain

Presidio CAD links to bidding-property resources for the City of Presidio, Presidio County, City of Marfa and land-only listings. These are not normal retail real-estate listings.

Match the legal property

Compare the sale description, property ID, geographic ID, CAD account, deed and map.

Check every tax year

Verify which taxes, costs, penalties or assessments are included and which may survive the sale.

Research title and liens

A tax-sale listing is not a title commitment. Obtain professional title and legal advice.

Inspect access and condition

Do not assume the tract has legal road access, utilities, a usable structure or a verified boundary.

Understand redemption

Ask a qualified Texas lawyer whether a redemption period or other post-sale right may apply.

Read the sale rules

Confirm deposit, payment deadline, deed type, occupancy risks and bidder eligibility before bidding.

Never bid from the advertised acreage or map alone. Verify the legal description, title, access, taxes, survey and physical property independently.
Open the official CAD bidding links
Buyer and owner due diligence

Complete these checks before buying Presidio County property

Confirm the parcel

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

Review tax balances

Check all available years, delinquent balances, payment status and current payoff.

Search title records

Review deeds, liens, probate, easements and mineral reservations with professional help.

Recalculate exemptions

The seller’s homestead exemption, appraisal cap and tax ceiling may not transfer.

Verify agricultural appraisal

Confirm qualification and potential additional taxes before changing ownership or use.

Check taxing units

Identify the applicable county, city, school, water and hospital district accounts.

Inspect improvements

Compare CAD area, age, condition, use and structures with the actual property.

Verify access and utilities

Do not assume a remote tract has legal road access, water, power, wastewater approval or buildability.

Obtain a survey

Verify boundaries, easements, access and acreage before relying on appraisal mapping.

The seller’s current tax bill may understate the buyer’s future taxes. Ownership, homestead status, appraisal limitations, agricultural qualification and use can change future taxable value.
