About Cleburne

Historic character, growing market

Cleburne is home to approximately 35,000 residents and serves as the county seat of Johnson County. The city’s identity is anchored by its historic downtown square, Lake Pat Cleburne, and a housing market that ranges from turn-of-the-century homes near the courthouse to newer subdivisions on the city’s edges.

Located about 30 miles south of Fort Worth, Cleburne offers small-town living with Metroplex proximity. The Cleburne ISD serves the area, and lakefront properties near Lake Pat Cleburne add a recreational dimension to the local real estate market. Property types here are diverse, from modest starter homes to acreage estates.

Do you appraise older homes in Cleburne's historic areas?

Yes. Cleburne's historic square and surrounding neighborhoods include homes dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Older homes often require consideration of effective age versus actual age, renovation quality, and functional utility. As the Johnson County seat, Cleburne has a deep history and we understand how to value its character properties.

Can I use an appraisal for my Cleburne property tax protest?

Yes. Cleburne properties are appraised by the Johnson County Appraisal District (Johnson CAD). An independent certified appraisal provides strong evidence for a property tax protest.
