I don't think that there's any reason why you shouldn't be able to as long as the county tax office is not a courthouse. I believe that my local tax office also houses the courthouse. I don't know if they allow handgun carry in the tax office or not because I never step foot in the place. I would probably carry concealed unless there was signage, and if there is a metal detector I'd probably either notify the security of my licensed carry status, or go back to the car and disarm.

Mine is in a totally separate building from the courthouse and there are zero signs so that's why I was wondering

Yes. You can legally, regardless of whether they post a sign or not. Unless it is at a meeting of the appraisal board subject to open meetings notice AND posted.

If they have security and metal detectors, you will have to decide how much you're willing to do to carry past if they try to block you.

Since there are no signs, I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Even if there were signs, you could decide to do some additional research, as those signs would probably be illegal and also unenforceable, other than the limited exceptions noted by Scott.
