The owner of a credit card must be present to sign. We will not process a credit card transaction if the owner is not present.
"When conducting a transaction with the Wilson County Tax office and the transaction requires by law presentation of photo identification, employees may request that a customer temporarily remove sunglasses, masks, hats, face coverings, or other items that materially obscure facial features necessary to compare the customer with the presented identification. Any request shall be limited to the minimum necessary to verify identity and shall be applied uniformly. Failure to comply with any requests to verify identity may result in denial of the application until such time that identity can be verified."

2023 TNT Postcard Mailing
Wilson County Property owners should be receiving their Truth-In-Taxation postcard notice for 2023. Pursuant to Texas Property Tax Code "Truth-In-Taxation" requirements added by Senate Bill 2 in 2019, the Wilson County Appraisal District (WCAD) will be mailing postcards in early August.
The postcard guides property owners to the official website wilson.countytaxrates.com which serves as the local property tax database site, in which property owners can easily access information regarding property tax rates and provide feedback to their local taxing units.
Information will be regularly updated in this local tax database during August and September as local taxing units propose and adopt the property tax rates.
Senate Bill 2, under Texas Tax Reform and Transparency Act, requires the Chief Appraiser of each Appraisal District to create and maintain a property tax database that:
• Contains information that is provided by taxing units located in the appraisal district, such as cities, school districts, county and emergency service districts;
• Is continuously updated as preliminary and revised data becomes available and is provided by the taxing units;
• Is accessible to the public;
• Is searchable by property address and owner per Texas Tax Code §26.17(a)
The postcard is required to provide the website for the database and the name, address and telephone number of the County Tax Assessor-Collector
Please continue to check the website for updates throughout the tax rate adoption process in August and September.
