No county sales tax on the file. The check still has to be labeled.
Baylor County is north central Texas, seat Seymour, and the Comptroller file shows no county sales tax. That does not tell you what Thursday's deposit was. The close is remote.
Baylor County was established in 1858 from Fannin County. The seat is Seymour. The name is Henry Weidner Baylor, a surgeon with a Texas Ranger regiment in the Mexican-American War. The new county was attached to Jack County for courts until it was organized in 1879 with Seymour as the seat.
The handbook places the county in North Central Texas, drained by the Salt Fork of the Brazos and the Big Wichita. Grasses, mesquite, and juniper cover sandy, loam, and red soils. In 1848 agent Robert S. Neighbors found Comanche, Tonkawa, and Wichita lodges on Lewis Creek at the site of present Seymour. The Wanderers, a Comanche band, had used the ground as buffalo range. Lasting settlement followed the Red River War of 1874. The first settlement the entry names is Round Timber, southeast of Seymour. C. C. Mills was there by 1870, left during raids, and was back by 1875 beside J. W. Stevens. In 1876 settlers led by J. R. McClain reached the Seymour site from Oregon and were driven off when cowboys ran cattle through their corn.
Seymour owners often meet a ranch deposit in a county that adds no sales-tax piece of its own.
The July 2026 Comptroller figure used here shows no county sales tax for Baylor County. State sales tax is 6.25%. Where a city has its own rate, that city rate stacks on the state rate and any county rate. The combined cap is 8.25%. City rates are not listed on this page.
Business personal property renditions go to the county appraisal district for Baylor County. Put April 15 on the calendar. That district's form says which date controls the list.
The franchise report is due May 15. Texas has no state income tax. Neither date goes away because of that.
A calf remittance and a harvest remittance can both arrive at your Seymour desk and then get booked as one ranch. The calf remittance pays you for animals that left. The harvest remittance pays you for a crop taken off planted ground. Mark the animal remittance with the word calf. Mark the harvest remittance with the crop word the buyer used. If your desk holds only one remittance, mark that one and leave the other enterprise out of the story.
Your town shop can hand you a receipt that belongs with neither animals nor a crop. Keep that receipt under shop, and do not hang calf or a crop word on it.
Bomarton and Westover each keep their own community when the remittance already shows one of them. Adding figures at the Seymour courthouse leaves a Bomarton remittance in Bomarton. If animal money and crop money become one figure, you may buy more stock because a harvest made the ranch seem flush, or you may skip a planting because calf money made the field seem fine. Sort the two remittances while you remember which envelope held the animals.
