Map search and GIS data

MCAD also provides a Map Search for general reference. The map information comes from a GIS database and is provided for property assessment reference, not as a survey or legal document.

For downloadable geographic datasets, the GIS Data page lists datasets such as abstracts, cities, ownership, parcels, subdivisions, and plats.

Use caution with map data: MCAD states that the map product is for general reference and should not be treated as a legal survey.

Appraisal rolls, reports, and taxing units

For broader property data, MCAD provides certified appraisal roll exports and preliminary appraisal roll files. These exports contain property and ownership information with values at certification.

The Appraisal Data Exports page includes certified appraisal rolls for multiple years and preliminary 2026 appraisal roll files. The MCAD Reports page includes annual reports, mass appraisal reports, financial reports, publicly available data, utilities, and segment codes.

To identify which local entities may be tied to a property, the Taxing Units directory lists Montgomery County taxing units, their descriptions, and the tax office responsible for collections.

Property tax system and owner portal

MCAD explains that property taxes in Montgomery County are based on property value and tax rates set by local taxing units. The appraisal district values taxable property, the appraisal review board handles disputes, and local taxing units adopt tax rates.

The property tax system includes appraisal, equalization, assessment, and collection phases. January 1 is the key date for ownership, property use, market conditions, exemptions, and tax responsibility. Tax bills usually go out in October and November, and taxpayers have until January 31 of the following year to pay before most unpaid bills begin accruing penalty and interest on February 1.

Property owners and agents can use the Public Portal to create an owner or agent login for online services.

Forms and open records requests

MCAD provides property-related forms for exemptions, agricultural and timber appraisal, appraisal corrections, protests, renditions, confidentiality, tax deferrals, map requests, and other property tax matters.

The MCAD Forms page lists forms by type. For public information requests, MCAD accepts written requests by the PIA request form, by mail, by email, or by hand delivery during normal business hours.

Open records requests must ask for records or information that already exists. MCAD states that the Texas Public Information Act does not require the district to create new information, perform research, or answer questions.
