What is Address Correction Form – Collin County, TX?
The Address Correction Form for Collin County is the written request used to change the mailing address on a property account. The linked PDF is titled Change of Address Request and is issued by the Collin Central Appraisal District (CCAD) in McKinney, Texas.
The form asks for the owner name(s), the Property ID and/or property address, the old and new addresses and a daytime phone number and email. It also lets you say whether the address change should apply to every property with a matching owner name, and whether exemptions on the property should be removed, for which tax years and from what date you moved.
The Tax Assessor FAQ explains why the appraisal district is involved: CCAD identifies the property to be taxed, determines its appraised value, decides on exemptions and sets the taxable owner and address. That FAQ tells owners to contact CCAD and also to complete and mail the Address Correction Form to the Tax Assessor's office.
CCAD's own FAQ states a firm policy: address changes are not made over the telephone. They must be requested in writing, and this form is that written request. The form is not an exemption application and does not change the ownership of a property.
Who needs to file Address Correction Form – Collin County, TX?
Owners of property in Collin County who need the mailing address on a property account changed use this form. If you hold several properties, you can list them all on the form, or mark that every property with a matching owner name should be changed.
The person who signs depends on how the property is owned:
- Individual owner: the person whose name is listed on the property deed signs.
- Trust: one of the grantors listed on the Trust signs, and a copy of the Certificate of Trust is needed.
- Business, company or LLC: a person whose name is listed on the Texas Comptroller's website (https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us) signs. If the property is not listed there, a copy of the Management Agreement is needed, signed by the property owner and the management company.
The signature block also offers Lessee and Other as the signer's capacity, and a line for a Property Owner's Agent with a CCAD Agent ID.
Owners who want a change made by telephone cannot use that route: CCAD does not change addresses by phone.
When to file Address Correction Form – Collin County, TX
Submit the form when the mailing address for your property account needs to change, for example after you move. The form asks for the date you moved from the property, and, if you are removing exemptions, the tax year or years for which they are to be removed.
The PDF prints no separate due date for the request. Property tax statements are tied to the address in the records: the Tax Assessor FAQ says that if you have not received a tax statement by November 1, you should contact its office at 972-547-5020, and that failing to receive a statement does not change the tax, penalty, interest or due date. Keeping your address current before statements are printed avoids that problem.
Documents you need
- A list of all properties for the address change, attached to the form, when the lines under Property Info do not give enough room.
- A copy of the Certificate of Trust, when the property is owned by a Trust; the form is signed by one of the grantors listed on the Trust.
- A copy of the Management Agreement, signed by the property owner and the management company, when the property belongs to a business, company or LLC that is not listed on the Texas Comptroller's website.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Asking CCAD to change an address by telephone; CCAD's policy is not to make address changes over the phone, so the request must be in writing.
- Leaving out the Property ID and the property address; the request must state one of them for each property to be changed.
- Sending the form without a signature or a printed owner name, both of which CCAD requires with the request.
- Having the wrong person sign, for example someone not named on the deed for an individual owner or someone not listed on the Comptroller's website for an LLC.
- Omitting the Certificate of Trust for trust-owned property, or the Management Agreement for a business not listed on the Comptroller's website.
- Not marking whether the change applies to all property with a matching owner name when you own several properties.
- Using a P.O. Box as the new address without answering whether you still reside at the property.
- Leaving off a daytime phone number, which CCAD wants in case it has questions.
