Sherman County, County administration center in Texas Panhandle, US.
Sherman County spans the northern Texas Panhandle, a region of flat grassland where Stratford serves as the administrative center. The landscape here consists mainly of open prairie used for farming and ranching operations.
The Texas Legislature created this county in 1889 as settlement and economic activity expanded across the Texas Panhandle. Its establishment brought organized local government to an area previously developed mainly for open-range cattle operations.
This county's identity is rooted in agriculture, which continues to shape how people live and work here. Farming and ranching traditions remain central to the community's sense of place and daily rhythms.
The courthouse in Stratford is where you can handle administrative matters related to property and taxes. Official records and assessments for the entire county are maintained there for public access.
The Sherman County Appraisal District implements a specialized system for managing property evaluations while providing digital resources for tax-related assessments and documentation.
