The county clerk handles deed recording; valuation, unpaid taxes, and court judgments are different records. Below are the two official clerk links, a Texas rule about transfer tax, and pages for comparing a sale.
Useful county offices
Start with the clerk for the property’s county
Texas deeds are recorded with a county clerk. Check the property’s county before choosing an office. These links identify the county clerk route; they do not establish an assessed value, unpaid-tax balance, or current court judgment.
Taylor County Clerk
Taylor County
For a property in Taylor County, use this county office for deed-recording questions and its Official Public & Real Property Records page for local recording requirements.
Official Taylor County Clerk page ↗No county phone number was supplied for these offices. For an assessed value, tax balance, or judgment, use the notice or record for that specific issue rather than assuming it is a deed-record question.
Texas sale paperwork
No real-estate transfer tax on a sale conveying full ownership
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of the property. The deed still needs to be signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Recording fees are based on the deed’s pages, not its sale price. Taylor County’s fee sheet notes an additional charge when a deed leaves out the buyer’s mailing address, so check its current requirements for a Taylor County property; use the Jones County Clerk’s official page for a Jones County property.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Check the county that holds the property record and have the title company confirm the transaction-specific figures before signing.

Abilene seller resource questions
Which county clerk should I contact about an Abilene property?
Abilene includes parts of Jones County and Taylor County. Check the property’s actual county, then use the Jones County Clerk or Taylor County Clerk link above. A city name alone does not tell you which county record applies.
Where is a Texas house deed recorded?
The deed is signed before a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Use the clerk for the county where the property is located. Taylor County links its real-property record requirements above; check the Jones County Clerk’s official page for a Jones County property.
Does Texas charge a real-estate transfer tax when I sell?
Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of the property. Deed recording still has paperwork and fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Does a county clerk link show my property value, unpaid taxes, or court judgments?
No single deed-record link answers all three questions. Assessed value, a current tax balance, and a court judgment are different records from a deed. Start with the specific assessment or tax notice, court record, or title question you have; do not treat a deed-record page as a payoff or title determination.
