Land: confirm acreage, timber, ag and homesite categories
Improvements: check size, age, class, condition and use
Tax year: do not mix preliminary and certified information
10 essential account attributes
Check these 10 Tyler CAD fields before relying on the record
1. Property ID
The primary appraisal-account identifier. Save it for forms, protests, calls and payment matching.
2. Geographic ID
A geographic parcel reference useful for GIS, rural-property and land-location research.
3. Owner and Owner ID
The owner entry used for appraisal administration. It is not a complete title or heirship history.
4. Situs and mailing address
The physical property location can differ from the owner’s mailing address and rural road format.
5. Legal description
Review the abstract, survey, subdivision, lot, block, tract or other recorded reference.
6. Acreage and land class
Confirm total acres, homesite acres, timber, agricultural, waterfront or non-homesite classifications.
7. Improvement details
Check residence size, year built, quality, condition, cabins, barns, sheds and commercial buildings.
8. Market and appraised value
Market value and the value after an applicable limitation or special appraisal can differ.
9. Exemptions and special appraisal
Verify homestead, age, disability, veteran, agricultural, timber or restricted-use treatment.
10. Tax year and taxing jurisdictions
Confirm the appraisal year and every county, school, city, hospital, ESD or water district attached to the parcel.
GIS and downloadable maps
Use the map layer that answers the Tyler County land question
Tyler CAD publishes an interactive GIS map and downloadable Google Earth or shapefile data for abstracts, parcels, roads, streams, oil-and-gas units, pipelines, FEMA flood zones, school districts, ESDs, city limits and Lake Amanda Water District.
Open the interactive map
Use it for parcel location, neighbouring property and general map context.
Open Tyler CAD GIS
Search with a known identifier
Use the Property ID, Geographic ID, owner, address or supported legal information.
Select the relevant map layer
Choose parcels and roads for location, abstracts for legal context, FEMA data for flood research, or oil-and-gas and pipeline layers for specialised property.
Compare adjoining parcels
Check road access, parcel shape, subdivision, neighbouring owners and surrounding land use.
Match the map to the CAD account
Confirm the same Property ID, Geographic ID, legal description and acreage.
Save the map with official documents
Keep it with the deed, survey, appraisal notice and evidence packet.
GIS boundaries, legal descriptions and acreage are appraisal resources—not a legal survey.
Use recorded documents, title work and a licensed surveyor before making a boundary, access or ownership decision.
Search troubleshooting
Fix a Tyler CAD search that returns no account
Change one search variable at a time
| Problem |
Likely reason |
Practical fix |
| Owner name returns nothing |
The property may use a spouse, trust, estate, business or abbreviated name. |
Search the last name only, first name only, Owner ID or Property ID. |
| County-road address fails |
Road abbreviations, directions and postal wording may differ. |
Use only the road name or number, then try owner or Geographic ID. |
| Timber tract has no address |
The parcel may be indexed by abstract, survey, tract or legal description. |
Use Advanced Search, Property ID, abstract and GIS. |
| Lake lot is missing |
The account may use a subdivision, block, lot or water-district reference. |
Search the subdivision, Property ID, owner or map. |
| Inherited land still shows a relative |
The probate or deed document may not be recorded or processed by CAD. |
Search prior owners and confirm County Clerk recording. |
| Manufactured home is missing |
The home may be separate from the land account or indexed by park or owner. |
Search the home owner, land owner, Property ID and mobile-home park. |
| Business account does not appear |
The account may use a DBA, separate situs or personal-property owner. |
Search the business name, DBA, Owner ID or Property ID. |
| Too many properties appear |
The owner or street search is too broad. |
Add the tax year, abstract, subdivision, Property ID or Geographic ID. |
| Tax and CAD records differ |
Appraisal and collection systems update separately and serve different purposes. |
Match account number, appraisal ID, owner, property location and tax year. |

Local property scenarios
Search tips for Woodville, Ivanhoe and rural Tyler County
Woodville residence
Search the Property ID or street name, then verify city, school, hospital, county and ESD jurisdictions.
Ivanhoe lake property
Confirm the subdivision, block, lot, road, waterfront status and whether the account falls inside Ivanhoe or Ivanhoe North.
Colmesneil acreage
Use the owner, abstract, Geographic ID, road and map when the property has no reliable street-style address.
Warren timber tract
Review timber qualification, stand age, management evidence, acreage and improvements separately.
Spurger farm or pasture
Confirm whether the land receives agricultural, timber or ordinary market appraisal and separate the homesite.
Chester property
Verify the school district, legal description, rural-road format and taxing jurisdictions shown on the account.
Wildwood lot
Search the subdivision, block, lot and Property ID rather than relying only on the road name.
Lake Amanda or Frog Pond Lake
Check whether a separate water-control-and-improvement district appears on the property account.
Pipeline or mineral property
Use CAD oil-and-gas and pipeline layers for context, then verify legal ownership through recorded documents.
Value interpretation
Read market, appraised and taxable value in the correct order
STEP 1
Market value
Tyler CAD’s opinion of market value for the January 1 appraisal date.
STEP 2
Appraised or special-use value
The value after an applicable homestead limitation, agricultural or timber treatment.
STEP 3
Taxable value
The amount remaining for an individual taxing unit after applicable exemptions.
Review the component that explains the total value
| Property component |
What to inspect |
Useful evidence |
| Residence |
Living area, age, class, condition, additions, porch, garage and completion. |
Measurements, photographs, plans, repair estimates and comparable sales. |
| Timberland |
Acreage, timber classification, stand condition, qualifying use, roads and improvements. |
Timber-management plan, questionnaire, forestry records, maps and harvest history. |
| Agricultural land |
Land class, acreage, grazing or production use, homesite and productivity value. |
Leases, livestock or crop records, photographs, maps and receipts. |
| Lake property |
Lot size, waterfront influence, access, improvements, utilities and district boundaries. |
Survey, plat, flood information, photographs and comparable lake sales. |
| Business property |
Furniture, equipment, machinery, inventory, leased assets and depreciation. |
Rendition, asset register, invoices, disposal records and 2026 schedule. |
Timberland appraisal
Use the county-specific timber questionnaire and current land records
Tyler CAD publishes a county-specific Timber Use Questionnaire along with Texas 1-d-1 timberland and restricted-use timberland applications.
Open every related real-property account
A timber owner can have separate tracts, homesite acreage, improvements and mineral interests.
Match the parcel to the deed and GIS
Confirm Property ID, Geographic ID, abstract, survey, tract and total acreage.
Separate timber acreage from the homesite
The residence, yard, barns and non-qualifying land remain separately appraised.
Download the timber forms
Use the Tyler County questionnaire and the applicable state timberland application.
Open Tyler CAD Timber Forms
Document timber use and management
Prepare planting, thinning, harvest, forestry, lease, management-plan, expense, photograph and map records.
Review restricted-use rules carefully
Restricted-use timber appraisal applies only in specific statutory circumstances and is not a general alternative for every tract.
Check ownership and use after a sale
Do not assume the prior owner’s timber treatment automatically continues without review.
Ask about additional taxes before changing use
Clearing, subdivision, residential development or another change can affect special appraisal and tax exposure.
Owning wooded acreage does not automatically qualify it for timber appraisal.
The land must satisfy the applicable use, degree-of-intensity, history and filing requirements.
Agricultural appraisal
Distinguish pasture, farm use and ordinary rural acreage
Search the real-property account
Confirm acreage, legal description, homesite, market value and any agricultural-use value.
Identify the actual qualifying use
Prepare records showing grazing, livestock, crop, hay or another qualifying agricultural activity.
Use the correct application
Tyler CAD provides both 1-d and 1-d-1 agricultural forms. Most open-space applications use 1-d-1, but the owner should confirm the correct form.
Separate the homesite and improvements
The residence, yard, barns and other structures do not receive productivity appraisal merely because the surrounding land qualifies.
Preserve annual evidence
Keep leases, receipts, livestock records, photographs, maps and production information.
Review change-of-use consequences
Ask about additional taxes before development, subdivision or termination of qualifying agricultural use.
Lake and subdivision property
Verify the lot, map layer and special district before relying on a lake account
Property ID and Geographic ID
Subdivision, block and lot
Recorded plat and deed description
Waterfront or water-access status
Road access and easements
FEMA flood-zone information
Lake Amanda or Frog Pond WCID
Emergency services district
Cabin, mobile home or other improvements
Current and delinquent tax balance
A lake name, subdivision advertisement or mailing address does not establish legal waterfront ownership or access.
Review the deed, plat, easements, survey and applicable association or water-district records.
Inherited and family property
Connect the CAD account to probate and recorded ownership
Search the deceased and current family names
Try the estate, surviving spouse, heirs, trust and prior owner.
Open every related property account
Family acreage can be divided across several Property IDs and legal descriptions.
Check the mailing address
Make sure notices and tax statements are not still being sent to an old address.
Verify the recorded instrument
Review a deed, affidavit of heirship, probate order, small-estate affidavit or other applicable document through the County Clerk.
Review exemptions and special appraisal
Homestead, age, disability, agricultural and timber treatment may require a new filing or updated evidence.
Check every tax year
Confirm current, delinquent, partial and prior-year balances before distributing or selling the property.
The County Clerk cannot advise which deed, probate process or ownership document is legally appropriate. Obtain legal assistance when heirs disagree, title is unclear or no valid transfer document exists.
Business personal property
Use the 2026 depreciation schedule and complete asset records
Tyler CAD publishes a 2026 business-personal-property depreciation schedule, a county-specific commercial income-and-expense survey and forms for personal-property, real-estate and inventory renditions.
Business legal name and DBA
Property ID and physical location
Assets owned or managed on January 1
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Machinery, tools and vehicles
Inventory and supplies
Leased or consigned assets
Acquisition dates and original costs
General rendition timing:
most 2026 business-personal-property renditions were due April 15. A timely written extension generally moved the deadline to May 15.
A required rendition filed late can result in a statutory penalty. Preserve the form, extension request and delivery confirmation.
Oil, gas and pipeline records
Use appraisal maps for context and recorded documents for ownership
CAD and GIS research
- Search the owner, Property ID and Geographic ID.
- Review the oil-and-gas-unit and pipeline map layers.
- Confirm the tax year and account type.
- Save the map and appraisal account.
- Contact CAD about appraisal facts or value.
Recorded ownership research
- Search grantor and grantee names.
- Review mineral deeds, leases and assignments.
- Use older deed indexes for early records.
- Match the legal description and recording data.
- Obtain title assistance for legal ownership.
The County Clerk states that oil-and-gas records use deed indexes for early records through 1977, separate oil-and-gas lease indexes for 1978 through 1989, and computerized Official Records from 1990 forward.
The surface owner and mineral owner may be different.
A CAD record, GIS layer or tax account is not a professional mineral-title examination.

File a timely protest when the issue is protestable and the correction remains unresolved.
Exemptions and forms
Use the current Tyler CAD form and attach the required proof
Residence homestead
Confirm ownership, principal-residence use, Property ID and identification requirements.
Age 65 or disability
Review additional exemption, school-tax ceiling, instalment and possible deferral rules.
Disabled veteran
Use the applicable veteran or survivor form and attach required VA documentation.
Agricultural appraisal
Use the correct 1-d or 1-d-1 application with land-use and acreage evidence.

Appraisal protest
Build a Tyler CAD protest around one specific account issue
Usual filing rule:
most protests are due by May 15 or 30 days after delivery of the Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. The deadline on the notice controls.
Save the notice and property record
Keep the Property ID, Geographic ID, legal description, acreage, values, exemptions and deadline.
Select the exact protest reason
Examples include market value, unequal appraisal, incorrect property details, denied exemption, timber or agricultural classification, or another adverse action.
Use the Notice of Protest form when needed
Tyler CAD’s forms page links Form 50-132 and agent-appointment forms.
Preserve proof of timely filing
Save the confirmation, email, certified-mail receipt or stamped copy.
Build evidence for the property type
A residence, timber tract, lake lot, farm, business or manufactured home needs different evidence.
Review the district’s evidence
Compare property details, comparable sales, land class, timber or ag schedules and calculations with your records.
Attempt an informal resolution
Explain the exact requested correction and review any proposed agreement before accepting it.
Prepare for the ARB hearing
Lead with the account, disputed action, requested result and strongest supporting documents.
Read the written order

Appraisal Review Board
Prepare for a formal Tyler County ARB hearing
Tyler CAD publishes 2026 ARB hearing procedures and scheduled numerous ARB meetings from May through July 2026.
Hearing notice and Property ID
One-page requested-value summary
Notice of Appraised Value
District evidence packet
Comparable or unequal-appraisal table
Numbered photographs and estimates
Timber, ag, lake or business evidence
Copy of every submitted document
Tyler CAD warns that discussing a specific property directly with an ARB member can disqualify that member from hearing the protest. Direct property questions to CAD staff and use the formal hearing process.
ARB leadership
Larry Trest, Chairman; Nick Toparcean, Vice Chairman; Susie Fortenberry, Secretary.
Other listed members
Lee Cone, Lois Henderson, Rusty Hughes, Wayne Rawls and Billy Rose.
Current procedures
Use the 2026 hearing-procedure document rather than an older saved copy.
Online account services
Use the Tyler CAD taxpayer portal for documents and applications
The taxpayer portal was last updated May 19, 2026. It supports property-detail access, electronic communication, document review and application management.
Create an account or sign in
Use an email address that is monitored regularly.
Wait for approval when required
The portal displays an approval-pending status until CAD approves a registration.
Match the correct property
Confirm the owner, Property ID, Geographic ID and appraisal year before uploading documents.
Save every confirmation
Keep registration, application, protest and uploaded-document confirmations.
Electronic-delivery election:
Tyler CAD states that the election remains in effect until rescinded in writing. A separate form must be filed with each applicable tax official, and the form should not be filed with the Texas Comptroller.
Tax bills, payments and receipts
Use the Tyler County Tax Office for the live collection account
The Texas Comptroller directory lists the Tyler County Tax Assessor-Collector as the consolidated collector for Tyler County, the five listed school districts, City of Woodville, the hospital district, Lake Amanda and Frog Pond Lake districts, and Tyler County ESDs 1 through 8.
Choose the best search type
Search by account number, owner name, owner mailing address or property location.
Enter account numbers with the required dashes
The tax portal gives a formatted example and warns that the dashes are required.
Use simple owner and address formatting
Enter last name followed by first name or initial. For property location, omit street type and direction.
Include inactive accounts when researching history
This can help with transferred, combined or closed accounts.
Review both paid and unpaid records
Check payment history, current balances and prior-year amounts.
Confirm the total before checkout
If the online amount differs from the statement, call the Tax Office because prior years may be due.
Review the live processing fee
Confirm the payment method, account, year and checkout total before authorising payment.
Save the receipt and verify posting
Keep the confirmation and reopen the tax account after processing.

Tyler CAD’s published schedule states that real-property accounts not paid by June 30 and personal-property accounts not paid by March 31 can be referred to delinquent-tax attorneys and incur an additional 15% collection penalty.
Quarter-payment plans have separate due dates. A missed instalment can trigger a 12% penalty and monthly interest. Ask the Tax Office for the current account-specific payoff.
Rates and taxing units
Do not use one combined Tyler County rate for every parcel
School districts
Colmesneil, Woodville, Warren, Spurger or Chester ISD can apply based on parcel location.
Cities
City of Woodville, City of Ivanhoe or Ivanhoe North applies only inside the relevant boundary.
County accounts
Tyler County and County Special can appear as separate rate components.
Hospital district
Tyler County Hospital District can appear as a separate taxing jurisdiction.
Emergency services
One of Tyler County ESDs 1 through 8 can apply based on location.
Water districts
Lake Amanda WCID Number 1 or Frog Pond Lake WCID can appear on qualifying property.
The official Tyler CAD rate table displayed rates through 2025 at the July 30, 2026 review.
Do not present a 2025 rate as the confirmed 2026 rate.
Recorded property documents
Use the Tyler County Clerk for deeds, liens and mineral documents
The Official Public Records Department searches records by grantor, grantee, volume and page or other recording information. It states that an appraisal R number alone is not sufficient for a Clerk record search.
Prepare grantor and grantee names
Search the current owner, previous owner, spouse, trust, estate, company or lender.
Identify the correct record period
Deeds and most other records use individual indexes before 1990 and computerized Official Records from 1990 forward.
Use the special oil-and-gas timeline
Early records through 1977 use deed indexes; 1978-1989 uses oil-and-gas lease indexes; 1990 forward uses Official Records.
Match the legal description
Compare the abstract, survey, subdivision, lot, block, tract, volume and page with the CAD account.
Call to confirm the page count
The Clerk’s recorded-document procedure asks requesters to confirm the number of pages before paying.
Pay and submit the document request
Plain emailed copies are generally processed in 24-48 hours; certified copies cannot be emailed.
Use mail when a certified or physical copy is needed
Include the written request, payment and a self-addressed stamped envelope.
