Jim Hogg County lies in the South Texas brush country between Laredo and Alice, with Hebbronville as its county seat. The county’s economy runs on cattle ranching in the dense Tamaulipan thornscrub — whitetail deer leases, brush country cattle operations, and some of the most productive quail hunting in Texas. Eagle Ford Shale production has also brought mineral interest activity to the county, adding an energy dimension to the historically agricultural economy.
At 1.53%, Jim Hogg County’s effective rate is above the state median. For ranchers and mineral interest owners, the combination of relatively low land values and a significant rate means precise appraisals matter. Eagle Ford mineral production valuations can fluctuate with oil prices — and appraisal districts don’t always adjust downward as quickly as they move upward. Your deadline is May 15, 2026.

— Section 13, Declaration of Rights, Republic of Texas, 1836Jim Hogg County brush country ranchers hunt the same draws and work the same pastures their grandparents did, on some of the most productive wildlife habitat in Texas. The Republic’s founders wrote that no property shall be taken without consent and just compensation. A 1.53% rate on South Texas brush land deserves the same scrutiny as any suburban appraisal. Look up your value. File your protest. Brush country ranching deserves fair treatment.
