POSTMARK RULE CHANGE

WILL AFFECT TAX PAYMENT DATE

The US Postal Service has CHANGED the method of postmark.  Previously, mail was postmarked the day the postal service received it, but now it will be postmarked when it goes through an automatic sorter, which may be DAYS after the drop off.

The TAX CODE is clear that the payment date is the POSTMARK date.  Therefore, it may take days after an envelope is mailed to actually be postmarked.  The tax payments will be based on that postmark.

So if a tax payment is mailed on 1/31—but postmarked in February, there will be Penalty and Interest still due.

For mailed payments, please ensure several days prior to deadline to ensure payment is postmarked in January.  All postmarks for February will accrue additional penalty and interest.

Payments may be made in person at the Central Appraisal District Office and there is a payment drop slot in the office door. (No cash in the drop slot).  It is highly recommended that you send by priority mail if you are not able to mail several days prior to the deadline, or drop off the payment in person.

THIS POSTMARK CHANGE WILL AFFECT ALL MAIL REQUIRED BY A DEADLINE:  Ag applications, Exemption applications, Business Personal Property Rendition deadline (April 15) and/or Protest deadlines.

 

2025 Appraised Values

Certified July 22, 2025

The 2025 appraised values in Fannin County are now finalized. The Fannin County Appraisal District (CAD) has begun the reappraisal and inspection process for Tax Year 2026.

As part of this process, appraisers will be out across the county conducting inspections. They will:

  • Display a Fannin County Appraisal District sign on their vehicle.

  • Wear a bright vest clearly marked with “Appraisal District.”

If you see someone matching this description, they are likely an official district appraiser. Please feel free to call the office and verify.

Software Transition – Temporary Website Disruption

In August, the CAD will begin converting to a new software system. This transition may cause temporary disruptions to the website and data access for an estimated 60 days.
