Property Overview
Rare opportunity to own 1.431 acres just minutes from the historic downtown square, local shopping, dining, and community events. Built in 1888, this charming cottage offers approximately 680 square feet of living space with one bedroom, a small office, central heat and air, and composition shingles. Full of character and history, the home provides a unique blend of small-town charm and country-style space.
The spacious lot offers endless possibilities for gardening, recreation, expansion, or simply enjoying the extra elbow room that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. A detached outbuilding adds additional storage and could be transformed into a workshop, hobby space, man cave, or she shed with the right vision.
The home is currently occupied and functional but reflects its age and will benefit from future updates and improvements. Sellers have completed some modifications over the years, including changes to improve the interior flow, but the property is being sold AS-IS. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own inspections and due diligence regarding condition, systems, and future use.
Whether you're looking for a place to make your own, an investment opportunity, or a property with character and acreage near town, this one is worth a look.

2. Improvement Details: Size, Type & Assessed Value
This is a breakdown of the improvements CAD has listed for the property and the square footage or area connected to those records. CAD improvement records may include the main living area, garages, shops, decks, patios, pools, storage, or other site improvements when available.

3. Current Tax Exemptions & Statutory Limitations
Property tax bills reflect two distinct types of CAD adjustments: local taxing jurisdiction exemptions (which reduce taxable value below appraised value) and statutory appraisal limitations (which limit the annual growth of appraised value itself). Each taxing entity establishes its own exemption amounts and tax rates.
Statutory 10% limitation on annual increase in appraised value for qualifying residence homestead (Texas Tax Code § 23.23). This is an appraisal-stage limitation, not a local taxing jurisdiction exemption.
Each taxing jurisdiction may apply its own exemptions, limitations, and taxable-value adjustments. The figures shown reflect the current CAD record. Specific exemption details are displayed when available from the source. A buyer’s exemptions and future tax obligations may differ.
4. Value After CAD Reductions
This is where CAD reductions, exemptions, limitations, or special-use valuation may affect the value used for tax calculations.
Appraisal districts that do not certify a single uniform net appraised value (or where jurisdictions differ) do not establish a universal taxed starting point. Taxable values are determined per taxing entity.
5. Who Taxes It?
These are the local entities included in the current CAD/tax estimate. A property tax bill can include a city, county, school district, municipal utility district, public improvement district, or other special district. Each entity may use its own taxable value, rate, and exemption treatment.

Each taxing jurisdiction may apply its own exemptions, limitations, and taxable-value adjustments. The figures shown reflect the current CAD record. Specific exemption details are displayed when available from the source. A buyer's exemptions and future tax obligations may differ.
6. Estimated Tax Bottom Line
This estimate is reported directly by the appraisal district's current tax page. Pre-exemption and net-exemption totals are not certified as unified scalars across all taxing units. A buyer’s future tax bill may differ.
7. CAD Values Over Time
YOY Change reflects the change in CAD Market Value from the prior appraisal year. Taxed / Appraised reflects the CAD net appraised value after CAD reductions, or the certified capped appraisal value where jurisdictions differ. Individual taxing units may use different taxable values when exemptions apply.
| Year | Land | Impr. | Market | Taxed / Appraised | YOY Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $87,270 | $12,030 | $99,300 | — | — |
| 2022 | $172,200 | $25,920 | $198,120 | — | +$98,820 / +99.52% |

8. List Price vs CAD Value
The current list price and the county’s CAD market value are not the same thing. CAD market value is used for property-tax context and may lag the open market, reflect prior protests, exemptions, caps, agricultural or special-use treatment, or other appraisal district methods.
How does the list price compare with the CAD value?
CAD values are appraisal-district values used for property-tax purposes and can differ from current asking prices and eventual sale prices.
A sale price can become part of the appraisal district’s future evidence. A buyer’s future taxable value and tax bill may change after purchase, especially if exemptions, caps, or special-use valuation change.
For tax planning, buyers should confirm future taxable value, exemptions, and special-use treatment with the appraisal district, tax office, lender, CPA, or other qualified advisor.
