Welcome To The Matagorda County Appraisal District Website

The appraisal district office does not send out tax bills or collect tax payments. Property tax bills are issued by, and tax payments are to be made out to, the Matagorda County Tax Assessor/Collector located at the County Tax Office (1801 7th St, Bay City, TX 77414). Tax payments made out to the appraisal district will not be processed, but will be taken to the Tax Office so they can contact the taxpayer about voiding the incorrect check and issuing a corrected one.
