Texas Property Records

What are Texas Property Records?

One of the most popular public records in Texas is the property record. Property records include information on the deed, mortgage, lien, title, and property ownership history. This information is vital for buyers and sellers of property, as well as for those who are looking to lease or rent a property.

 

Where to Find Texas Property Records

Texas keeps property records at the county level. If you want to find property records for a specific address, you will need to know the county in which the property is located.

You can find county-level property records by searching the county's website. Once you are on the website, look for a link to the county clerk's office or the county assessor's office. These offices should have information on how to access property records.

You can also utilize a web-based searchable database like InfoTracer, which has gathered property records from all across the country.

 

What Information Can You Find in Texas Property Records?

When you search for a property record in Texas, you will likely find a document called a deed. This document includes information on the property's legal description, owner, and purchase price.

Some of the other information that may be included in Texas property records include:

  • Size of the property
  • Property value
  • Property taxes
  • Deed history
  • Mortgage records and history
  • Liens and judgments
  • Zoning and land use
  • Contact information
  • Current and previous owners
  • Address
  • Property boundaries
  • Other pertinent information

While the amount of information included in a property record can vary from county to county, you should be able to find most of the above information by searching for the deed.

 

Texas Property Tax Records

Property tax records are another type of public record in Texas. These records show how much money the owner of a property owes in taxes, as well as the tax history of the property.

The county tax assessor's office maintains property tax records. You can access these records by visiting the office in person, mail, or online.

The average effective property rate in Texas is 1.80%. It is the seventh-highest rate in the United States. An average Texas homeowner pays $3,500 per year for property taxes.

The highest counties in terms of effective tax rates are Fort Bend, Webb, and El Paso, with a rate of 2.23% and 2.22%, respectively. Most of these counties are highly populated. The local appraisal district sets the local tax rate in each county.

Meanwhile, the lowest property tax rates are in Borden, Ward, and Glasscock counties, with rates of 0.34%, 0.51%, and 0.55%, respectively. Unlike Fort Bend, Webb, and El Paso counties, these counties have very few residents.
