Records Search - Ector County Appraisal District

Start with the Ector County Appraisal District’s public search tool. Use it to find a property record, open the parcel details, and review appraisal information tied to that account.

If you are ready to search, have the property address, owner name, parcel details, or account information available so you can narrow results faster.

• Open the official property records search.
• Run your search and select the matching property from the results list.
• Open the record to review appraisal details and related parcel information.
• Use the record page to follow options tied to that account, including unpaid tax details when shown.

Tip: If you need to pay taxes online, the appraisal district directs users to find the property first, then open the unpaid tax amount from that record.

Other official search tools

The appraisal district also offers related tools that can help when a standard parcel lookup is not enough.

• Open the Ector County GIS map if you need a map-based view of property information.
• Use the appraisal district’s property records area for inactive accounts with unpaid taxes when taxes are still due on accounts that are no longer active in the current appraisal file.
• Use the mineral search options when you need owner-name or owner-number access for mineral accounts rather than a regular real property record.

Value, exemptions, and deadlines

Property search results are often the starting point, but many users also need the next official step after opening a record. The appraisal district reappraises property each year and values taxable property based on market value as of January 1.

If you disagree with a value or exemption status, the usual protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the postmark date on your Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. Residential homestead, over 65, and disability exemption filings are due by April 30.

You can also use the property record to request electronic communication for an account through the appraisal district’s online process on a web browser.

Protests and tax payment paths

For appraisal disputes, the Ector County Appraisal District encourages an informal review with staff before a formal protest. If you still disagree after that review, you can file a written Notice of Protest and proceed to an Appraisal Review Board hearing.

The district also allows online protest filing through the property record. Search for the parcel, open the record, and use the File Protest for this Parcel option below Preliminary Values.

For current tax payment timing, taxes usually become due on October 1, and January 31 is usually the last day to pay the previous year taxes without penalty and interest fees. Penalty and interest begin to accrue on February 1.
