Concho County is one of Texas’s smallest counties by population, with roughly 2,700 residents spread across nearly 1,000 square miles of West Central Texas. Paint Rock is the county seat. The economy here is built around agriculture, ranching, and oil — and property taxes are not a small matter when operating margins are thin.

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, 1836
Paint Rock has stood at the confluence of the North Concho tributaries since before statehood. The founders who wrote the Republic’s Declaration of Rights understood that small landowners needed protection from government extraction just as much as large ones — more so, in fact. Look up your value. File your protest. In Concho County, the numbers say you will very likely win.
