Start with the task
Choose the Somervell County property action you need
FIND A PROPERTYSearch the appraisal account
Use Quick Property Search or the Property Search menu and verify the legal description before relying on a result.
The first sections solve the property lookup. Later sections explain values, exemptions, protests, payment, tax-rate research and recorded documents.
Official property database
Search Somervell CAD without selecting a similar but incorrect account
Best search sequence:
use the account or property ID when available, simplify owner or address searches, open the complete account, compare the legal description and save a dated copy before paying, filing or calling.
Open the official Somervell CAD portal
The former somervellcad.net address redirects to the Southwest Data Solutions portal used by the district.
Open Somervell CAD
Use Quick Property Search for a simple lookup
On the homepage, select the available account category and enter an owner, address, account number or property identifier.
Open Property Search for more options
Use the Property Search item in the top menu when the quick search returns too many results or does not recognise the information.
Search the property or account ID first
Copy the number from an appraisal notice, tax statement, closing record or prior-year account whenever possible.
Simplify the owner name
Begin with the last name or one distinctive word from a trust, estate, company or business name.
Simplify the property address
Try the street number and main street name, then the street name alone. Remove the city, ZIP code and unnecessary punctuation.
Use the legal description for rural property
Search the abstract, survey, tract, lot, block, subdivision or another distinctive portion of the legal wording.
Open every plausible match
An owner may have a residence, additional acreage, business account, mineral interest or several tracts with similar descriptions.
Verify the complete property account
Match the account or property ID, owner, situs location, legal description, acreage, property type, appraisal year and taxing units.
Save the record before leaving
Print the account or save a PDF or screenshot showing the date viewed, tax year, identifiers, values and exemptions.
Glen Rose and rural search tip:
properties near the Paluxy River, county roads, ranch land and newly divided acreage may be easier to find with the owner, property ID or legal description than with a postal address.

Quick Property Search
Use the search field at the top for a straightforward owner, address or property-number lookup.
Property Search menu
Use this when you need additional search fields, property categories or a broader result list.
Map menu
Use map search to compare approximate parcel location and surrounding appraisal accounts.
News and Updates
Check this area for appraisal notices, office announcements, deadlines and process changes.
More menu
Look for forms, board information, contact details, reports or other district resources.
Contact Information
Use the official contact card instead of a copied phone number from an advertisement or directory.
Use the official redirected portal, not somervellcad.org.
Search results currently include an unrelated or compromised-looking website using that similar domain. The Texas Comptroller directory identifies somervellcad.net, which redirects to the Southwest Data Solutions portal.

Use fewer words when the complete entry produces no result

Legal description: match the correct tract, lot or abstract
Property type: real, personal, mineral or another category
Values: market, appraised, productivity and taxable can differ
Tax information: verify year, balance, collector and payment route
Parcel-location research
Use the Somervell CAD map to confirm location without treating it as a survey
Map research is useful for rural acreage, river-area parcels, properties with similar road addresses and tracts that have been divided or combined.
Select Map in the top navigation
Use the map feature shown between Home and Property Search on the portal.
Search with the strongest identifier
Use the property ID, account number, owner, address or legal-description detail supported by the map.
Compare nearby parcels
Review road frontage, parcel shape, neighbouring owners, subdivisions and the expected location.
Return to the property account
Confirm that the map result and appraisal record contain matching identifiers and legal information.
Verify boundaries independently
Use the recorded deed, plat, metes-and-bounds description and a professional survey for legal or construction decisions.
Floodplain, river proximity and parcel boundaries require separate verification.
A CAD map does not determine flood-insurance requirements, legal access, easements, buildable area or surveyed acreage.
Property-account decoder

Use each appraisal field to reach the controlling official record
Field
What it identifies
What it does not prove
Best next step
Property or account ID
The appraisal account maintained in the Somervell CAD system.
That every related tract, mineral interest or asset is in one account.
Save it and search related property categories when needed.
Owner shown
The owner carried for appraisal and tax administration.
Complete legal title, probate ownership, liens or mineral ownership.
Search County Clerk Official Public Records.
Situs address
The physical location used by the appraisal account when one is assigned.
The mailing address or full legal description.
Compare the map and recorded deed.
Legal description
The abstract, survey, tract, lot, block, subdivision or acreage reference.
That abbreviated CAD wording is sufficient for conveyance.
Obtain the complete recorded instrument or plat.
Property type
Real estate, business personal property, mineral property or another category.
That no separate account exists for related property.
Search other account categories when an interest appears missing.
Market value
The district’s January 1 opinion of market value.
A guaranteed sale price or the final property-tax bill.
Compare sales, condition and equal-appraisal evidence.
Appraised value
Value after an applicable statutory appraisal limitation.
Taxable value after every exemption.
Continue to taxable value by taxing unit.
Productivity value
Special valuation of qualifying agricultural or open-space land.
That qualification continues after a sale or use change.
Review agricultural history and the current Form 50-129 file.
Taxable value
The value remaining after applicable exemptions for a taxing unit.
The current balance, penalty, receipt or collector.
Open the live tax statement and payment section.
Taxing units
County, school, city, water and hospital entities connected with the property.
That every entity uses the same collector or exemption amount.
Review each statement and Truth-in-Taxation record.
Value explanation
Read market, appraised and taxable value in the correct order
FIRSTMarket value
The district’s estimate of what the property would sell for under normal market conditions as of January 1.
THENAppraised value
The value after an applicable limitation such as a qualifying residence-homestead cap.
FINALLYTaxable value
The value remaining after exemptions. It may differ for the school, county, city and special districts.
Agricultural land may also show productivity value.
Market value reflects the ordinary real-estate market, while productivity value applies to qualifying open-space agricultural use.
Do not estimate the final bill from market value alone.
The actual amount depends on taxable value, taxing-unit exemptions, ceilings, adopted rates, collection adjustments, penalties and payment history.
Review these property facts before protesting the total value
Land size and class
Compare appraisal acreage and land category with the deed, survey and actual use.
Building area
Check living area, porches, garages, barns, shops, pools and accessory improvements.
Condition on January 1
Document unrepaired damage, incomplete construction and deferred maintenance.
Location influences
Review access, flood exposure, topography, utility availability and nearby uses.
Agricultural qualification
Check the approved acreage, category, productivity value and use history.
Exemption changes
Confirm that a taxable-value increase is not caused by a missing or reduced exemption.
Current Texas law requires school districts to provide a $140,000 general residence-homestead exemption. A qualifying owner age 65 or older or disabled receives an additional mandatory $60,000 school-district exemption. Local exemptions and tax ceilings can vary by taxing unit.
Search troubleshooting
Fix a Somervell CAD search that returns no result
Change the search method before assuming the account is missing
Problem
Likely reason
Practical fix
Owner name finds nothing
The record may use initials, a spouse, trust, estate, company or former owner.
Search the last name or one distinctive organisation word.
Address search fails
The appraisal address may differ from the postal or mapping format.
Try the street name alone, then owner or property ID.
Rural acreage has no normal address
The tract may be indexed by legal description or property identifier.
Use the abstract, survey, tract, subdivision, account number or map.
Recently purchased property shows seller
The deed may still be processing into the appraisal system.
Confirm County Clerk recording and save the instrument number.
New split parcel is missing
The new child account may not yet be visible publicly.
Search the parent tract and contact CAD with the deed or survey.
Business account is missing
The account may be under a business owner, DBA or personal-property category.
Search the business name and confirm the property category.
Mineral interest is missing
Minerals may be separate from the surface real-estate account.
Search the mineral owner, property type and legal description separately.
No payment button appears
The account may have no current balance, the wrong year may be open or payment may require another screen.
Review the tax section and call Somervell CAD before using another website.
Exemption is not visible
The application may be incomplete, pending, denied or associated with another year.
Ask CAD which document, year or qualification issue remains unresolved.

Somervell County situations
Use a different workflow for each local property type
Glen Rose residence
Search the street address, then verify the City of Glen Rose, school and exemption lines.
Rural acreage
Use the owner, property ID, abstract, survey, legal description and map instead of address alone.
Paluxy River-area property
Confirm the exact parcel, legal access and independent flood information before relying on the CAD map.
Ranch or grazing land
Compare market value, productivity value, qualifying acreage and agricultural-use history.
Tourism or lodging business
Search the real-estate account and separate business-personal-property assets such as furniture and equipment.
Manufactured home
Determine whether the home and land are combined or carried in separate ownership and appraisal records.
Mineral interest
Search mineral ownership separately from the surface tract and compare recorded oil-and-gas instruments.
Inherited property
Search the deceased owner, estate, heirs and affidavits of heirship in County Clerk records.
Boundary-area school account
Confirm the exact school district because the state directory lists Glen Rose, Granbury, Walnut Springs and Three Way school units.

Use the county-specific state directory and current tax statement for routing.
Property-record corrections
Correct the Somervell County system that contains the error
Appraisal owner is incorrect
Confirm the recorded deed, probate order, heirship document or other ownership instrument and provide the information requested by CAD.
Mailing address is incorrect
Request an appraisal-account update and separately verify the address used on the property-tax statement.
Legal description or acreage is incorrect
Prepare the recorded deed, plat, survey or metes-and-bounds description.
Building characteristics are incorrect
Use measurements, plans, dated photographs, permits or inspection documents.
Exemption is missing
Confirm the application year, qualification date, identification and proof of filing.
Payment balance is incorrect
Contact the property-tax collector with the statement, receipt, payment date, amount and account number.
A record correction and an appraisal protest are different.
A correction addresses inaccurate account information. A protest challenges a protestable action such as value, unequal appraisal, exemption denial or special-appraisal denial.
Homestead and other exemptions
File a Somervell County exemption using the current form and local submission instructions
Property-tax exemption applications are filed with Somervell CAD, not the County Clerk or county vehicle-tax office.
State forms are free through the Texas Comptroller.
Find the correct property account
Save the owner name, account or property ID, address and legal description.
Download the current state application
Use Form 50-114 for residence-homestead benefits and the category-specific form for other exemptions.
Open Texas Property-Tax Forms
Complete the owner and occupancy information
Identify the ownership interest, acquisition date, principal-residence date and any co-owners.
Attach the required identification
A Texas driver licence or identification certificate generally must show the residence address, subject to statutory affidavits and exceptions.
Attach category-specific evidence
Age, disability, veteran, surviving-spouse, heir-property or manufactured-home claims can require additional documents.
Confirm Somervell CAD’s accepted filing method
Use the official portal or call (254) 897-4094 before emailing personal identification or relying on an unverified upload page.
Keep proof of delivery
Save the complete application, attachments, portal confirmation, certified-mail receipt or stamped copy.
Recheck the property account
Confirm that the exemption appears for the correct year and taxing units after approval.
General homestead
Texas school districts currently provide a mandatory $140,000 residence-homestead exemption.
Age 65 or older
Can add a $60,000 school exemption, a school-tax ceiling and qualifying payment or deferral options.
Disabled person
Requires qualification under the applicable federal disability standard and supporting evidence.
Disabled veteran
The benefit depends on the VA disability category and the exemption provision claimed.
Surviving spouse
Eligibility may depend on age, remarriage, continued residence and the deceased owner’s qualification.
Heir property
Special documentation rules can help qualifying heirs establish a homestead interest without a conventional recorded deed.
Late filing may still be available.
Current Texas guidance permits a qualifying residence-homestead application to be filed up to two years after the taxes become delinquent. Other exemptions have different late-filing periods.
Apply for agricultural appraisal with evidence of qualifying land use
A 1-d-1 agricultural appraisal is a special land valuation based on productivity use. Rural location, acreage or livestock ownership alone does not guarantee qualification.
List every tract included in the operation
Record the owner, property ID, legal description, acreage and map location for each parcel.
Separate the homesite and non-agricultural areas
A residence, yard, tourism use, storage area or commercial portion may receive different appraisal treatment.
Document agricultural history
Texas open-space rules generally require qualifying agricultural or timber use during at least five of the preceding seven years.
Document the current operation
Prepare leases, livestock records, production evidence, feed or veterinary bills, photographs, maps and sales records.
File by the applicable deadline
April 30 is the normal timely deadline for many agricultural and special-appraisal applications.
Keep annual operating records
Continue saving use evidence after approval in case the district reviews qualification later.
Ask about additional taxes before changing use
Development, subdivision or conversion to a non-agricultural use can create rollback or additional-tax consequences.
Prepare planting, harvesting, input, irrigation, lease and sale records.
Wildlife management
Confirm prior open-space qualification and maintain the required wildlife plan and annual activity records.
A buyer should not assume the seller’s agricultural valuation automatically continues.
Confirm the qualification history, planned use and possible additional taxes before closing or changing the property.
Business personal property
File a Somervell County business-property rendition with an organised asset list
Businesses generally report taxable tangible personal property used to produce income, including furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, inventory and specialised hospitality or tourism assets.
Find the business account
Search the business name, owner, DBA, property ID and location on the Somervell CAD portal.
Download Form 50-144
Use the current Business Personal Property Rendition of Taxable Property.
Open Rendition Forms
Prepare the asset records
Include descriptions, quantities, acquisition years, original costs, locations and disposal information.
Confirm the January 1 property
Report taxable assets owned, managed or controlled on the applicable January 1 appraisal date.
File by April 15
The normal deadline for most business-personal-property renditions is April 15.
Request an extension in writing
A timely written request generally extends the rendition deadline to May 15.
Keep proof of delivery
Save the completed form, attachments and portal, email, mailing or stamped confirmation.
Late required renditions can create a penalty equal to 10% of the taxes imposed on the property.
Submit a timely filing or extension request instead of ignoring an incomplete asset list.
Current small-business exemption:
qualifying income-producing tangible personal property with a total taxable value of $125,000 or less in a taxing unit may be exempt under current Texas law. Confirm the account and reporting requirement with Somervell CAD.
2026 appraisal protest
File a Somervell CAD protest around one clear appraisal issue
General 2026 rule:
most protests are due May 15, 2026 or 30 days after the appraisal district mails the Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. Follow the exact deadline printed on the individual notice.
Read the complete appraisal notice
Confirm the owner, property ID, proposed values, exemptions, reason for notice and protest deadline.
Save the online property account
Keep the legal description, land, improvements, values, exemptions and appraisal history.
Identify the exact protest ground
Examples include market value, unequal appraisal, incorrect property characteristics, exemption denial, agricultural denial or ownership.
Obtain the current Notice of Protest
Use Form 50-132 from the Texas Comptroller or the filing method identified by Somervell CAD.
Open Form 50-132 Resources
Confirm whether online filing is available
Open the official portal and check Property Search, More, forms or account actions. Call CAD if the correct protest control is not visible.
File before collecting perfect evidence
Protect the deadline first. Continue organising photographs, estimates, sales and records after filing.
Keep proof of filing
Save the portal confirmation, email, fax receipt, certified-mail record or stamped copy.
Request the district’s evidence
Ask for the sales, appraisal records and other information the district intends to use at the hearing.
Attempt an informal resolution
Explain the exact requested correction using a short statement and organised exhibits.
Continue to the ARB when unresolved
Present the strongest evidence first and explain how each item supports the requested result.

Do not argue only that the tax bill is high.
The CAD appraises the property, while taxing units adopt tax rates. Connect the protest to value, equal treatment, property facts, an exemption or another appraisal action.
Missed the regular deadline?
Contact Somervell CAD immediately. Texas law permits certain late protests for good cause, failure to receive a required notice and other limited statutory situations. A late hearing is not automatic.
Verify the Somervell County property-tax collector before paying
The Texas Comptroller’s county-specific directory states that the Somervell County Tax Assessor-Collector does not collect property taxes and instructs taxpayers to contact the appraisal district about local property-tax collection.
Search the correct account
Confirm the owner, property ID, legal description, property type and tax year.
Open the complete property or tax record
Look for tax-year balances, statement information, receipts, tax details or a payment control.
Verify every unpaid year
A current-year payment does not automatically clear an older delinquent balance.
Read the collector name on the statement
Confirm that the collector, account number and mailing or online payment instructions match the property.
Call CAD when the payment route is unclear
Use (254) 897-4094 before sending funds through an unrelated payment website.
Request a dated payoff for delinquent taxes
Penalty, interest, legal fees or collection costs can change the balance after the statement date.
Check mortgage escrow
Confirm whether the lender or mortgage servicer is scheduled to pay before submitting a duplicate payment.
Review any convenience fee
The processor should show the fee before final submission. Save the tax amount and processing fee separately.
Save the receipt and verify posting
Keep the account, tax year, amount, date and transaction number, then recheck the official account.
Use the correct office for each tax-related task

Somervell County Truth in Taxation
A proposed rate is not final until adopted.
Normal Texas timing:
property taxes are generally due when the statement is received and normally become delinquent after January 31. Corrected, late-issued, instalment and split-payment accounts can have different dates.
Do not rely on a payment link received by unsolicited text or email.
Start from the official CAD portal, find the property account and confirm the collector before entering bank or card information.
Use the property’s taxing-unit list instead of assuming one countywide rate
The Texas Comptroller directory lists multiple taxing units with property in Somervell County. The exact combination depends on the parcel’s location and district boundaries.
Somervell County
County property-tax line for qualifying parcels.
City of Glen Rose
Applies only to property within the city’s taxing boundary.
School districts
Glen Rose, Granbury, Walnut Springs or Three Way may appear based on location.
Water district
Somervell County Water District can appear as a separate taxing unit.
Hospital district
Somervell County Hospital District can have its own taxable value and rate.
Local exemptions
Exemption amounts can differ among the school, county, city and special districts.
Tax ceilings
Qualifying over-65 or disabled owners can have ceiling protections for eligible units.
Boundary verification
Use the live property account and map when a parcel is close to a district boundary.
Search the property when the database permits
Use the owner, property address or account identifier.
Review each taxing unit separately
Compare proposed rates, no-new-revenue rates, voter-approval rates and meeting information.
Do not treat estimated tax as a bill
The official tax statement controls the actual amount due after rates are adopted and accounts are certified.
Recorded real-property documents
Use the Somervell County Clerk for deeds, liens, easements and mineral instruments
The County Clerk records warranty deeds, deeds of trust, mechanics’ liens, releases, transfers and assignments of liens, easements, oil-and-gas leases, affidavits of heirship and other instruments affecting real property.
Continue to the Tyler Eagle public-access system
Use the county-provided link rather than an unrelated commercial deed-search website.
Open Official Public Access
Accept the system disclaimer when displayed
Read the coverage and image-access terms before beginning the search.
Search grantor and grantee names
Try the buyer, seller, spouse, trust, estate, company and spelling variations.
Narrow the recording date
Use the purchase, inheritance, refinance, lien, release, mineral transfer or easement date.
Compare the legal description
Match the abstract, survey, tract, lot, block or subdivision with the Somervell CAD account.
Request the correct copy type
Determine whether a plain or certified copy is required before paying copy and certification charges.
Use professional title help for conclusions
A public name search does not guarantee clear title or identify every easement, probate issue, unreleased lien or mineral reservation.
Published real-property recording fee:
the County Clerk lists $25 for the first page and $4 for each additional page. Confirm the latest fee sheet and document requirements before recording.
The Somervell CAD owner line is not a deed.
Use the recorded instrument and professional title or legal assistance when ownership, lien priority, heirship or mineral title matters.
Buyer, owner and heir review
Complete these checks before relying on a Somervell County property record
Match the parcel
Confirm the property ID, legal description, map location, acreage and situs address.
Search recorded ownership
Review deeds, heirship documents, liens, releases, easements and oil-and-gas records.
Check every tax year
Confirm current and delinquent balances and save a dated payoff when necessary.
Identify taxing units
Review the school, county, city, water and hospital district lines on the account.
Recalculate future taxes
The seller’s homestead, cap, tax ceiling or agricultural valuation may not continue.
Verify improvements
Compare CAD building size, age, condition and accessory improvements with the actual property.
Review agricultural status
Confirm the qualification history and planned future use before closing.
Check flood and access separately
Use official flood information, easements, title records and surveys instead of CAD mapping alone.
File the new owner’s homestead
Do not assume the prior owner’s exemption automatically transfers to the buyer.
The current tax bill may not predict the buyer’s future bill.
Exemptions, appraisal caps, tax ceilings, special appraisal and ownership responsibility can change after closing.
