Haynesville Shale Property Tax

Natural gas. Wells. Pipelines. Property tax help across East Texas and northwest Louisiana.

The Haynesville is one of the country’s largest natural gas plays, straddling East Texas and northwest Louisiana. Because its wells produce mostly gas, valuations swing with natural gas prices, and deep, high-pressure wells carry large equipment and pipeline values. Property Tax Partners represents mineral owners, operators and midstream companies across the East Texas Haynesville, and on the Louisiana side as well.
