Comal County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

by
Comal County Texas • 2026 Appraisal & Property Tax Guide

Search Comal County TX Property Values, CAD Records, Tax Bills & GIS

Comal County property records are split between two offices. The Comal Appraisal District determines market value, exemptions, special agricultural appraisal and protest records, while Tax Assessor-Collector Stuart Hansmann handles tax statements, collections and payment history.

If your goal is to find a property, start with the CAD search and save its Property ID. If your goal is to see what was billed or paid, use the separate county Tax Office search, where account number, owner, mailing address and physical property location can be used.

As of August 12, 2026, the ordinary May appraisal-protest season has passed for most parcels, while final 2026 tax rates and tax statements have not yet reached their normal October billing stage.

Most important Comal County distinction

Tax Assessor-Collector Does Not Appraise Comal County Property

Comal Appraisal District Use for market value, appraised value, taxable value, homestead, over-65, disability, agricultural/wildlife appraisal, business personal property, ownership/mailing information and protests.
Tax Assessor-Collector Use for tax statements, current balance, payments, receipts, installment plans, delinquent accounts, tax sales and property-tax collection.
County Clerk Use for deeds, deeds of trust, liens, foreclosures, recorded plats and other Official Public Records.
Simple routing: “What is my property worth?” → CAD. “How much do I owe?” → Tax Office. “Who legally received the property by deed?” → County Clerk.
August 2026 owner alert

Most Ordinary 2026 Protest Deadlines Have Passed

Comal Appraisal District’s normal deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the Notice of Appraised Value was mailed, whichever is later. By August 12, that ordinary spring filing period has passed for most parcels.
Did you receive a later notice? Use the actual deadline printed on that notice rather than assuming May 15 applied.
Already protested? Continue monitoring your informal offer, ARB hearing and certified final order.
Missed the deadline? Texas provides limited late-protest and appraisal-roll correction remedies in specific circumstances. Contact CAD immediately rather than submitting a normal protest as though it were timely.
Do not protest the tax rate to CAD. Comal CAD says a value protest concerns market value or another appealable appraisal issue; the Appraisal District does not set the taxing units’ tax rates.
2026 tax bill status

Comal County 2026 Tax Bills Are Not Yet in the Normal October Billing Stage

Comal County explains that the Tax Office receives the certified appraisal roll, loads the values, applies rates adopted by the applicable taxing jurisdictions and normally levies current taxes in October.

What is available now? Existing tax history, prior bills, parcel balances and the Tax Office’s 2026 prepayment option.
What is not final yet? The county’s published tax-rate page currently stops at 2025 rates, so this guide does not relabel those rates as 2026.
When will 2026 amounts settle? After appraisal certification and adoption of the applicable city, school, county, ESD, MUD and other rates.
Comal County is already accepting pre-payment of 2026 property taxes. Owners interested in an escrow agreement or monthly prepayments can contact the Tax Office at 830-221-1353.

Comal County Property Record Value Decoder

Value / record What it means What to check
Market Value CAD’s estimate of what the property would sell for as of January 1. Comparable sales, condition and property characteristics.
Appraised Value Value after an applicable Homestead cap, non-homestead circuit breaker or special appraisal limitation. Do not confuse a capped value with full market value.
Taxable Value Appraised value after applicable exemption amounts or special treatment. Different taxing units can have different taxable values.
Property ID CAD account identifier. Keep it with applications, evidence and tax research.
Land Market or special-appraisal component attributed to land. Acreage, location, use, frontage and agricultural status.
Improvements Buildings and other taxable improvements. Size, age, quality, condition and new construction.
Exemptions Homestead, over-65, disability, veteran or other qualifying relief. Verify every applicable taxing unit, not just one exemption code.
Ag / Wildlife Special appraisal based on qualifying land use rather than ordinary market taxation. Qualification history, acreage, use intensity and rollback exposure.
Texas value-to-tax workflow

How a Comal County Appraisal Becomes a Tax Bill

1. January 1 CAD appraises property based on its taxable status as of January 1.
2. Market Value Full market value is established using legally accepted appraisal methods.
3. Limitations Homestead cap, circuit breaker or special appraisal can reduce the appraised value used.
4. Exemptions Homestead, over-65, disability, veteran and local options reduce taxable value as applicable.
5. Tax Rates Each applicable taxing unit adopts a rate; the Tax Office uses those rates to create the bill.
There is no single Comal County “property tax rate” for every parcel. A property may be taxed by the county, school district, city, emergency-services district, MUD/WCID and other jurisdictions.
Homestead cap + 2026 non-homestead circuit breaker

Why Market Value Can Be Higher Than Appraised Value

Residence Homestead Cap After the cap becomes effective, appraised value generally cannot exceed the lesser of market value or the prior year’s appraised value plus 10%, plus the value of qualifying new improvements.
2026 Non-Homestead Circuit Breaker Certain non-homestead real property valued at $5.32 million or less is subject to a temporary limitation that generally restricts annual appraised-value growth to 20%, plus qualifying new improvements, when statutory conditions are met.
The Texas non-homestead circuit-breaker provision currently expires after the 2026 tax year unless changed by law. Agricultural and several other specially appraised properties are excluded.
Major 2026 exemption update

Comal County Residence Homestead Exemptions

School District Texas now requires a $140,000 residence-homestead exemption for school district taxation.
Comal County Comal CAD currently states the county provides a 20% local-option Homestead exemption.
Other taxing units Cities and special districts can choose their own lawful local-option exemptions.
Application cost CAD states there is no fee to file a Homestead application.
A Texas owner who acquires and occupies a qualifying principal residence after January 1 may receive a prorated Homestead exemption during that year when statutory requirements are met and the prior owner did not receive the same exemption for that year.

What Comal CAD expects with a Homestead application

  • Completed residence Homestead application
  • Appraisal District Property ID
  • Valid Texas driver license or state ID
  • ID address matching the Homestead address unless a statutory exception applies
  • Ownership information
  • Trust documents when applicable
  • Marriage documentation when names differ and requested
  • Prior exemption information when moving from another home
April 30 is Comal CAD’s normal exemption-application target date, but Texas allows late Homestead filing in many cases. CAD says a residence Homestead application can generally be filed up to two years after the taxes become delinquent. Do not assume missing April 30 permanently eliminates the exemption.
Age 65+, disability & tax ceilings

Over-65 and Disabled Homeowner Relief

School additional exemption Qualifying persons age 65 or older or disabled receive an additional $60,000 school-district Homestead exemption.
School tax ceiling A qualifying over-65 or disabled Homestead receives a school-tax ceiling, subject to statutory adjustments such as new improvements.
Ceiling transfer A qualifying homeowner who moves may be able to transfer the percentage benefit of the prior school-tax ceiling to another Texas Homestead.
Comal CAD says an over-65 exemption can be granted when the owner reaches age 65 during the year; the owner does not need to have been 65 on January 1.
A tax ceiling limits the applicable tax amount; it does not freeze market value and it does not necessarily freeze every tax on the bill.
Payment postponement—not tax forgiveness

Tax Deferral for an Over-65 or Disabled Homestead

Comal CAD states that qualifying owners age 65 or older or disabled may file a tax-deferral affidavit on the residence Homestead.

What it does Postpones collection of qualifying current and delinquent Homestead property taxes while the owner meets the statutory conditions.
Interest Comal’s current guidance says deferred tax accrues interest at 5% per year.
What it does not do It does not cancel the tax. The accumulated obligation eventually becomes payable.
May 15 or 30 days after notice

Comal County 2026 Property Appraisal Protest Workflow

SPRING NAV mailed Owners with qualifying changes receive Notice of Appraised Value.
MAY 15 / +30 File protest Use May 15 or 30 days after notice mailing, whichever is later.
INFORMAL CAD review Discuss evidence and any settlement offer with an appraiser.
ARB Formal hearing Independent Appraisal Review Board hears unresolved protest.
FINAL ORDER Further appeal A qualifying owner may pursue arbitration, district court or another statutory route after the ARB order.
Online Use CAD’s Taxpayer Portal when the property qualifies for electronic filing.
Email CAD accepts a protest in PDF format at comalad@co.comal.tx.us.
Mail / Drop Off 900 S. Seguin Avenue, New Braunfels, TX 78130.
CAD says a written protest does not have to use its preprinted form, but it must provide the owner’s name, property identification number or address, and the reason for protesting.

What to prepare for an ARB hearing

  • 2026 Notice of Appraised Value
  • CAD property card
  • Your requested market value
  • Comparable sales
  • Independent appraisal if useful
  • Photos documenting condition
  • Repair estimates
  • Correct square footage or improvement facts
  • Land or survey evidence
  • Uniformity/equity comparisons when relevant
CAD states that an ARB hearing normally lasts about 15–20 minutes, so organize evidence around the specific issue instead of bringing an unstructured stack of documents.
Official Comal Protest Instructions Confirm your notice deadline, review e-file eligibility, download the Notice of Protest if needed, and follow the current ARB procedures.
Open-space agriculture & wildlife

Comal County Agricultural and Wildlife Special Appraisal

Qualified land can be appraised based on agricultural productivity rather than ordinary market value. For 2026, the Texas agricultural/open-space capitalization rate is 10.00%.

1-d-1 Open Space Generally does not require a new application every year unless ownership, acreage, use or another qualifying circumstance changes or the Chief Appraiser requests one.
1-d Agriculture Requires annual application under Comal’s published guidance.
Wildlife Management Land generally must already have qualified for 1-d-1 open-space appraisal in the preceding year and satisfy wildlife-management requirements.
Comal CAD uses April 30 as the application deadline. A late approved agricultural application can be subject to a 10% penalty.
Check rollback exposure before changing use. Comal explains that a qualifying change from agricultural/wildlife use can trigger rollback tax consequences based on prior years.
Business personal property & renditions

2026 Comal County Business Personal Property

Businesses must render taxable tangible personal property used to produce income, such as furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory.

Valuation date Report taxable business property owned or controlled on January 1.
Rendition deadline April 15.
Extension A 30-day extension can be requested in writing by April 15.
Late penalty CAD warns untimely filing can create a penalty equal to 10% of the tax liability.
Texas’ 2026 rules also include a new $125,000 exemption for qualifying income-producing tangible personal property. Businesses should still follow CAD rendition instructions rather than assuming the exemption means no filing action is ever required.
Current payment costs

Comal County Property Tax Payment Fees

E-Check FREE Current county guidance lists no fee for e-check payments.
Credit / Debit Card 2.15% Tax Office currently lists a 2.15% vendor fee with a $2 minimum.
Phone Payment 866-549-1010

One older Comal contact page still shows a $1 card minimum while the current Tax Office page shows a $2 minimum. This guide uses the newer Tax Office figure; verify the live checkout amount before authorizing payment.
2026 taxes will be payable into 2027

Comal County 2026 Property Tax Calendar

JAN 1 2026 Tax lien / appraisal date Property tax status begins with January 1 ownership and valuation.
SPRING Appraisal season Notices, exemptions, renditions and protests occur before rate adoption.
SUMMER Roll certification CAD completes appraisal work and taxing units prepare rates.
OCT 2026 Tax levy Tax Office normally loads certified values and adopted rates and generates statements.
JAN 2027 Pay without delinquency Standing statutory deadline is January 31, subject to weekend/holiday extension rules.
January 31, 2027 falls on a Sunday. Texas Tax Code Section 1.06 generally treats an act as timely on the next regular business day when the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Check Comal Tax Office’s final 2026-bill instructions before relying on a calendar calculation.
Do not confuse the current Tax Office homepage’s “January 31, 2026” notice with the deadline for 2026 taxes. That date applied to the prior tax year’s bill. Taxes imposed for tax year 2026 are billed later in 2026 and normally become delinquent in the following year.
Quarter payments & partial payments

Comal County Payment Options for Qualifying Homeowners

Quarter payments Certain disabled, disabled-veteran and age-65+ Homestead owners can elect four installments.
Standing installment dates January 31, March 31, May 31 and July 31.
Partial payments The Tax Office accepts partial payments, but unpaid balances can still accrue statutory penalty and interest.
Penalty, interest & collection

What Happens When Comal Property Tax Is Delinquent?

February County guidance says a normal unpaid balance begins with 7% combined penalty and interest when first delinquent.
Charges increase Statutory penalty and interest continue to accumulate while the tax remains unpaid.
July collection cost Taxes still delinquent on July 1 may incur an additional collection penalty of up to 20%.
Failure to receive a tax statement does not erase the tax, due date, lien, penalty or interest. If no bill appears by the normal billing period, search the property online or contact the Tax Office.
2026 online tax sale calendar

Comal County Tax Sales

The Tax Office currently lists tentative 2026 online tax-sale dates of March 3, June 2, August 4 and November 3. The August 4 date has already passed as of this review; November 3 is the next listed tentative date.

A tax-sale schedule is not a guaranteed sale list. Verify the actual properties, registration deadline and auction status on the Tax Office’s current sale information before taking any action.
CAD + County Engineer mapping

Comal County GIS and Parcel Mapping

CAD parcel data Use the Comal AD property search for assessment parcel identification and appraisal records.
County GIS Comal County’s official Online Services page links to the County Engineer’s ArcGIS Enterprise portal.
Address research The Engineer says its interactive map can search by street, subdivision, intersection or Comal County Property ID.
Neither the CAD parcel map nor county GIS should be treated as an on-the-ground boundary survey. Use recorded plats, deeds and a licensed surveyor for legal boundary work.
County Clerk Bobbie Koepp

How to Search Comal County Deeds, Liens & Land Records

Start with the CAD property. Save owner names, Property ID and legal-description clues.
Open Comal County Public Access ROAM. Use Comal County Land Records Online, which is linked from the county’s official Online Services page.
Search the relevant parties. Trace grantor/grantee ownership and later documents affecting the property.
Review deed and lien records separately. A deed can transfer title while deeds of trust, judgments and liens can affect the property without changing ownership.
Open the recorded instrument. Verify recording information, legal description and parties.
Use the Clerk for certified copies. Online research is useful, but a legal transaction or court matter may require a certified document.
County Clerk Bobbie Koepp’s office is the recorder for Comal County and handles land records, liens/judgments and recorded plats.
Recorded subdivision maps

Comal County Plat Viewer

The County Clerk’s Plat Viewer displays recorded plats and revisions and lets users download unofficial copies.

Open the Official Plat Viewer Locate the subdivision or parcel area, review recorded plat revisions, and download the unofficial copy for research.
Need a certified plat? Contact the County Clerk. The online downloaded version is not a certified document.
2026 flood / disaster-damage check

Property Damaged in the 2026 Comal County Flooding?

Comal County reported significant flooding and severe weather in July 2026. Comal CAD publishes a Texas Tax Code Section 11.35 temporary-disaster-exemption form for qualifying property.

Damage threshold CAD states the improvement generally must have at least 15% qualifying physical damage from a declared disaster.
Document now Keep dated photographs, repair estimates, insurance documentation and the date the property became unusable.
Confirm the event-specific deadline Disaster filing periods depend on statutory and declaration details. Ask CAD which deadline applies to the July 2026 event instead of assuming the ordinary April exemption calendar controls.
Reporting flood damage to the state or county does not automatically apply a property-tax exemption. A qualifying owner must follow the Appraisal District’s exemption procedure.

Comal County Tax Assessor Property Search FAQs

1. How do I search Comal County property records?

Use the official Comal Appraisal District property search for appraisal records. The current system supports owner name, street number and street name, Property ID, Geographic ID, subdivision, abstract, condo, neighborhood, Property Type, Tax Year and other advanced criteria. For tax bills and payment history, use the separate Comal County Tax Office search.

2. Who is the Comal County Tax Assessor-Collector in 2026?

Stuart Hansmann is the Comal County Tax Assessor-Collector in 2026. His office is at 205 N. Seguin Avenue in New Braunfels and the property-tax phone number is 830-221-1353. The Tax Assessor-Collector bills and collects property taxes but does not establish appraisal values.

3. Who appraises property in Comal County?

The Comal Appraisal District appraises property. Jeffrey J. Booker is the current Chief Appraiser. The district handles market value, appraised and taxable values, exemptions, agricultural and wildlife appraisal, business personal property and appraisal protests.

4. What is the Comal County 2026 property appraisal protest deadline?

The normal deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the Notice of Appraised Value was mailed, whichever is later. The ordinary spring 2026 deadline has passed for most parcels as of August 12, but an owner who received a later notice should use the deadline printed on that notice.

5. What is the 2026 Homestead Exemption in Comal County?

Texas school districts now provide a $140,000 residence-homestead exemption. Comal Appraisal District also states that Comal County currently provides a 20% local-option residence-homestead exemption. Other cities and special taxing units may provide different optional exemptions.

6. Can I file a Comal County Homestead Exemption after April 30?

Yes, in many cases. April 30 is the normal application date, but Comal Appraisal District states that a residence-homestead exemption can generally be filed up to two years after the date the taxes become delinquent. Different late-filing periods apply to some age, disability, surviving-spouse and disabled-veteran exemptions.

7. Are Comal County 2026 property tax rates final yet?

Not as of August 12, 2026. Comal County’s published tax-rate page currently lists rates through 2025. The county explains that the certified appraisal roll and adopted taxing-unit rates are normally loaded by the Tax Office in October before current tax statements are generated.

8. When are Comal County 2026 property taxes due?

Comal County taxes are due on receipt of the tax statement and the normal statutory last day to pay without delinquency is January 31 of the following year. Because January 31, 2027 is a Sunday, Texas weekend-extension rules may move the timely payment date to the next regular business day. Owners should verify the final date on their 2026 tax statement and Tax Office instructions.

9. How much does Comal County charge to pay property taxes online?

The Comal County Tax Office currently lists e-check payments as free. Credit and debit card transactions carry a 2.15% vendor convenience fee with a $2 minimum on the current Tax Office page. Owners should verify the fee shown at checkout before authorizing payment.

10. Where can I search Comal County deeds, liens and plats?

Use the Comal County Clerk’s Public Access ROAM land-records system for recorded deeds and related land records. The County Clerk also provides a separate Plat Viewer for recorded plats and revisions. Online plat downloads are unofficial; contact the Clerk for a certified copy when one is required.

County Property Search, Homestead & Tax Help Toolkit

Use this free helper to find the right county office, prepare a property search, understand appraised value, review homestead exemption steps, and organize TRIM notice or tax bill questions before using official county websites.

Built for Florida county property guides
Helps users find official resources
No fake database or approval claim
Useful after every article

Find the Correct County Office

Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk, GIS, and VAB offices do different jobs. Pick your task below.

Quick rule: Property Appraiser = value, records, parcel details, exemptions. Tax Collector = bill and payment. Clerk/Recorder = deeds and recorded documents. VAB = formal value disputes.

Official Property Search Helper

Use this when a county article tells you to search by owner, address, parcel number, folio, PCN, STRAP, or alternate key.

Search tip: If address search fails, try only the house number and main street name. Avoid typing Street, Avenue, Road, Drive, unit numbers, or punctuation unless the official portal requires it.

Homestead Exemption Readiness Check

This helps homeowners prepare before filing through the official county Property Appraiser website.

Important: This is not an eligibility decision. The official county Property Appraiser decides approval, required documents, late filing options, and exemption status.

TRIM Notice & Value Review Helper

Use this to organize your questions before calling the Property Appraiser or preparing an appeal.

Your preparation checklist

Value term Simple meaning
Market value The appraiser’s estimate of the property’s value as of the assessment date.
Assessed value The value after limits or caps may be applied.
Exemptions Approved reductions such as homestead or other exemptions.
Taxable value The value used by taxing authorities after exemptions.

Property Tax Bill Direction Helper

The Property Appraiser values property, but the Tax Collector usually handles the actual bill and payment.

Florida timing reminder: Many Florida tax bills are mailed around November and become delinquent if unpaid after March 31. Always verify exact dates, discounts, and payment fees with the official county Tax Collector.
