Maverick County sits on the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass, directly across from Piedras Negras, Mexico — one of the busiest commercial border crossings in Texas. The county has seen increased economic and logistical activity as USMCA trade flows through the Eagle Pass–Piedras Negras crossing, and the area has attracted manufacturing and warehousing investment tied to nearshoring trends. Eagle Pass also gained national attention during the 2023-2024 border security debate.
At 1.62%, Maverick County’s effective rate is above the state median. On properties whose values have been influenced by border trade activity and increased attention on the region, keeping appraisals accurate is worth the effort. More than half of those who protested in 2024 achieved reductions. Your deadline is May 15, 2026.

“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, 1836
Maverick County sits at one of the most geopolitically significant crossings on the southern border, and the people who live and own property in Eagle Pass deserve the same constitutional protections as any other Texan. The founders wrote that no property shall be taken without consent and just compensation. A 1.62% rate on a border community where incomes are modest and values have been pushed upward by trade activity is a real burden worth challenging. Look up your value. File your protest. Eagle Pass property owners have the same rights as anyone in the state.
