Reeves County Taxes

Why do I pay Reeves County Taxes when I my producing royalty wells are in Ward County Thanks Rustic

Hi Rustic, it may depend where your property or mineral ownership is. Sometimes with pooling or unitization, the units might cross county lines, but you are only supposed to pay taxes in the county where you have ownership.

The northwestern portion of Ward County is included in Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD and the school district taxes are paid through Reeves County. Your Ward County tax statements will only charge county, hospital etc taxes and nothing for school districts within Ward County. Reeves is required to use well valuations provided by Ward County.

Amazing @TennisDaze. It is just like you had the tax statement in front of you. Don’t think I would have ever guessed overlapping school district was the cause.
