How are Eagle Ford mineral interests valued for property tax?

Texas appraisal districts value producing mineral interests using the income approach: projected production from each well, multiplied by expected oil, condensate and gas prices, discounted to today. As Eagle Ford wells mature, decline rates and price assumptions have a big effect on value.

When is the protest deadline for Eagle Ford properties?

In Texas, the protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after your notice of appraised value is mailed, whichever is later. See all key dates on our Property Tax Calendar.

My family’s minerals are split among many owners. Can PTP help each of us?

Yes. We work with individual royalty owners as well as families, trusts and estates. We review the interests together, so everyone benefits from the same analysis.

Does PTP work with operators as well as royalty owners?

Yes. We work with royalty and mineral owners, operators, non-operated working interest owners and midstream companies across the Eagle Ford.

Eagle Ford Shale Property Tax

Oil. Condensate. Natural gas. Property tax help across South Texas’s Eagle Ford.

The Eagle Ford produces oil, condensate and natural gas across a long arc of South Texas, from the Mexican border toward the Brazos Valley. Wells change fast, operators change hands, and mineral interests are often split among many family owners, which makes accurate valuations hard to come by. Property Tax Partners represents royalty owners, operators and midstream companies across the Eagle Ford, county by county.
