Gillespie Central Central Appraisal District The Gillespie Central Appraisal District (GCAD) determines the values placed on every piece of real estate in Gillespie County according to the Texas Property Tax Code and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices. Each May, property owners will receive, in the mail, the appraised values of their properties. They then have 30 days to file a formal protest if they disagree with the numbers. The appraisal district office welcomes taxpayers to visit them for discussions about any property values they may find questionable.
Oftentimes, having a quick visit offers both the appraisers and the property owners some insight into the situation. Because of that open line of communication, resolutions often occur at that point. In July 2015, GCAD began collection of property taxes, taking over from the Gillespie County Tax AssessorCollector’s Office. The GCAD building is located at 1159 South Milam Street.
