Taylor Central Appraisal District (Taylor CAD) appraises the market value of all real property and business personal property in Taylor County, Texas.
This West Texas county includes Abilene (county seat), Winters, and rural ranch and agricultural lands.
The values set by Taylor CAD determine property taxes paid to Taylor County, Abilene ISD, other school districts, cities, and local entities.
Reviewing your property record verifies if the appraised value matches current market, identifies errors in descriptions or measurements, allows applications for exemptions to reduce taxes, prepares for a protest if overvalued, or provides details for sales, refinancing, or insurance. In this county, online tools handle searches, forms, protests, and some payments directly.
