Property Tax Resources · Roberts County, Texas
The Texas Panhandle’s smallest county by population — Roberts County has fewer than 1,000 residents in Miami, Texas, where natural gas production from the Hugoton field underpins a county that functions almost like a private energy company.
Sources: Population — U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2024 estimates; Effective Tax Rate & Avg Annual Bill — Ownwell / Census ACS 2024; Protest Success Rate — Texas Comptroller PTAD data, approximate.
🔴 2026 Protest Deadline: May 15, 2026 — or 30 days after your Notice of Appraised Value is mailed, whichever is later. Miss this date and you waive your right to protest.
Roberts County is one of the least populated counties in Texas, with fewer than 1,000 residents in the small Panhandle community of Miami — not to be confused with the Florida city. The county’s economy is built almost entirely on natural gas production from the Hugoton field and cattle ranching, and the tax base is so dominated by mineral interests that the county can afford to operate with extremely low rates relative to its per-capita revenue. The county has no incorporated towns other than Miami.
At 0.89%, Roberts County’s effective rate is below the national median. But the $1,394 average bill reflects the high per-account valuations typical of Panhandle mineral interest counties. Few protests are filed. For natural gas royalty owners whose production values may not reflect current commodity conditions, the protest process is worth pursuing. Your deadline is May 15, 2026.

Before your ARB hearing, a CAD appraiser may offer to settle. Review any offer carefully — 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
Roberts County may have fewer than 1,000 residents, but it sits on natural gas reserves that have funded community services for generations. The founders of the Republic wrote the Declaration of Rights without a population floor — Roberts County’s mineral interest owners have the same right to accurate appraisals as anyone in the state. Look up your value. File your protest. The smallest county in the Panhandle still has rights.
