Throckmorton County in North Central Texas is one of the least populated counties in the state, with just under 1,500 residents. Agriculture and ranching drive the local economy, and property tax assessments on farmland and ranch properties can have an outsized impact on operating costs.

67 ARB protests were filed in Throckmorton County in 2024; 57% of protests resolved through the informal process received a value reduction (Texas Comptroller, 2024 Appraisal District Operations Survey). With such a small population, the county appraisal process receives little public scrutiny — all the more reason to show up and file.

How to Protest Your Throckmorton County Property Taxes

1

Look Up Your Value

Search your account at throckmortoncad.org. Know your Notice of Appraised Value and the deadline printed on it.

2

File Your Protest

File online, by mail, or in person at Throckmorton County Appraisal District: 101 N. Minter St., Throckmorton, TX 76483. Deadline: May 15, 2026 or 30 days after your notice was mailed.

3

Gather Your Evidence

Recent sales of comparable homes, your purchase price, photos of property condition issues, and repair estimates all strengthen your case.

4

Try Informal Resolution

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.

5

Present to the ARB

The Appraisal Review Board is independent of the CAD. Present your evidence clearly and concisely. Most hearings run 15–30 minutes.

6

Appeal If Needed

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

Throckmorton County is small — but small doesn’t mean powerless. The people setting the rates that affect your ranch or farm are elected from your community. The same founders who wrote that no person’s property shall be taken without just compensation were writing about counties like this one. Look up your value. File your protest. Attend the hearings.
