Within this site you will find general information about the District and the ad valorem property tax system in Texas, as well as information regarding specific properties within the district.
Brazos Central Appraisal District is responsible for appraising all real and business personal property within Brazos County. The district appraises property according to the Texas Property Tax Code and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices (USPAP).
Brazos Central Appraisal District (BCAD) has contracted with the law firm of Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins, and Mott to perform an audit on the current homestead exemptions for BCAD. If you receive correspondence from that firm, please follow the directions on the correspondence and respond to the information provided.
In May of 2022, Texas voters passed Proposition 1, which amended the Constitution authorizing the legislature to provide for a reduction in the 2023 school tax ceiling (freeze) for property owners with Over-65 exemption or those who have qualified for the Disabled Persons exemption. This legislation is only applied to school districts. Other taxing entities, such as the counties and municipalities, were not included in the legislation. In addition, this change is not intended to produce any refunds, as it is applicable to the 2023 tax year forward.
Brazos Central Appraisal District is currently being contacted by home owners who have received letters in the mail from solicitors offering to file their homestead application for a fee. Please be aware, there is NO CHARGE to file a homestead exemption application with the Appraisal District. Homestead applications are available: on this website, at the Brazos Central Appraisal District office located at 4051 Pendleton Drive, Bryan, Texas 77802, or the Texas Comptroller website at https://comptroller.texas.gov (Enter Homestead Exemption in the search box). Please contact our office at 979-774-4100 if you have any questions concerning this matter. ~Dana Horton, Chief Appraiser
