San Augustine County sits in the Deep East Texas Piney Woods near the Louisiana border, and San Augustine itself is one of the oldest continuously occupied communities in Texas — predating the Republic and serving as a center of political activity during the Texas Revolution. The county’s economy is built on timber production, hunting leases, and the recreation market on nearby Sam Rayburn Reservoir and Toledo Bend.
At 0.85%, San Augustine County’s effective rate is below both the state and national medians. For timber and recreational land whose values have risen with Piney Woods demand, accurate appraisals still matter. Few protests are filed in a county this small. 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, 1836San Augustine is one of the oldest communities in Texas — a place where the declaration that no property shall be taken without consent and just compensation wasn’t just philosophy but a practical necessity for people who had fought to keep their land. That principle is still in force in the Piney Woods today. Look up your value. File your protest. The Cradle of Texas deserves fair assessment.
