Welcome to the Ector County Appraisal District Website

CURRENT NEWS

2025 Notices of Appraised Value have been mailed for Real Estate. Notices for Mineral properties and Business Personal Property accounts are scheduled to be mailed later in May.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

Per Texas Property Tax Code Sec. 1.085, a property owner or person designated by the owner may elect to receive  communication through electronic delivery. In the section, communication means a notice, rendition, application form, completed application, report, filing, statement, appraisal review board order, bill or other item of information required or permitted to be delivered under a provision of this title.

The property owner or person designated under TPTC Sec 1.111(f) may fill out an online form by using the universal Property Record Search located in the Navigation menu. An online form must be filled out for each account by using the hyperlink labeled, “Request Electronic Communication.” Once submitted, the District staff will send out a confirmation receipt with additional information. This request must be done on a web browser.

PAY NOW OPTION

Need to pay your taxes online?

Simply find your property using the Property Records Search from the Navigation bar to the left, select it from the list, then open the UNPAID TAX AMOUNT to see the PAY NOW button.

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEE

The appraisal district does not sell a product on which the price can be increased in order to recoup the cost of credit card processing fees. We would have to increase our budget to cover the additional cost. Because only a percentage of tax payments are processed using a credit card as the means of payment, the appraisal district has chosen not to increase our budget in order for the district to pay the processing fees. Our budget is funded by all taxpayers and we will not place the additional cost burden of a convenience fee on taxpayers who do not utilize the credit card option.

MISSION OWNERS

See the new Search Inactive Accts (Owner Name or Owner Number) with Unpaid Taxes in the Navigation bar? Use this feature for:

Unpaid taxes for accounts that are no longer active in the appraisal file.

(Example: taxes are due for prior years on Lot 5. For the current appraisal year, Lot 5 now has 2 accounts - W/2 of Lot 5 and E/2 of Lot 5.)

(Example: taxes are due for prior years on a personal property mobile home that is no longer in Ector County)

Unpaid City of Odessa taxes for properties in Midland County

(Example: Mission Estates, Mission Greens) ECAD has only City of Odessa tax information for these properties. For appraisal information (such as value, ownership and exemption), contact Midland Central Appraisal District.

MINERAL OWNERS

Mineral Searches and Payment Processing are now available. Find your owner information using the Search Mineral Property (Owner Name or Owner Number) in the Navigation bar to the left, select it from the list, then open the UNPAID TAX AMOUNT to see the PAY NOW button.

LOCAL PROPERTY TAX DATABASE
