Coleman County covers more than 1,200 square miles of West Central Texas hill country, known for livestock, hunting leases, and oil production. The county seat of Coleman anchors a quiet, working community where agricultural exemptions and the homestead cap are among the most powerful tools available to property owners.
Protest activity across rural Texas counties has grown steadily. If your land is appraised above what it would realistically sell for — or if your agricultural exemption status has changed — file a protest. It costs nothing and the ARB hears from everyone.

Before your ARB hearing, a CAD appraiser may offer to settle. Review any offer carefully before accepting — you can accept or proceed to the formal hearing.
The Appraisal Review Board is independent of the CAD. Present your evidence clearly and concisely. Most hearings run 15–30 minutes.
Disagree with the ARB ruling? You may appeal to district court, binding arbitration, or SOAH (properties over $1 million).
“No person’s particular services shall be demanded, nor property taken or applied to public use, unless by the consent of himself or his representative, without just compensation being made therefor.”
— Section 13, Declaration of Rights, Republic of Texas, 1836Coleman County families have worked this land for generations. The same principle the founders wrote into the Republic’s Declaration of Rights in 1836 still applies: no person’s property shall be taken or applied to public use without consent and just compensation. When your appraisal goes up to meet a budget rather than to reflect the market, that principle is being violated. Look up your value. File your protest. Show up.
