Comanche County sits in the Cross Timbers region of West Central Texas, about 100 miles southwest of Fort Worth. The county is known for its peach orchards, cattle operations, and tight-knit communities including the county seat of Comanche and smaller towns like Rising Star, De Leon, and Sidney. With a population around 13,500, this is not a fast-growing county — but property values have still climbed.
Multiple school districts operate across the county, each setting its own rate — and those rates combine to produce your total bill. If your notice shows a value higher than what your property would realistically sell for, protest it. The Comanche County CAD website and the Truth in Taxation portal both make it straightforward to get started.
