Find the right help
A property appraisal, an unpaid tax balance, a recorded deed, and a court judgment follow different record paths. The county offices below serve separate counties; use the parcel record to identify the right one. For a sale question, call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.
Useful offices
Austin is not a county, and a city label does not identify the parcel's county. Confirm the county in the official parcel record, then match the office to the task: value, tax account, deed, and court records are not interchangeable. The Bastrop County links are conditional because boundary records differ about whether Austin city extends into Bastrop County.
County offices · use after confirming the parcel county
For an assessed value, use the county Appraisal District; for a tax bill or unpaid balance, use the Tax Assessor-Collector or tax office. The County Clerk handles deed and real-property recording routes. Court judgments and probate cases belong to the court or case record, not the deed index.

City of Austin · code information, inspections, and Certificates of Occupancy
For a property within City of Austin jurisdiction, use Development Services for common code-violation information and address-specific inspection or Certificate of Occupancy records. The City directs local reporting of common code concerns through Austin 3-1-1; check which city or county office serves the property address.
City of Austin · renter resources and tenant-notification information
Use these City pages as a starting point for local renter and tenant-notification information. They do not determine the rights or duties for a particular lease, occupant, or house.
The county links are official directory or office starting points. For a court matter, follow the actual case or notice; a county list does not decide venue or tell you whether a judgment affects a particular property.
A Texas sale rule
Texas does not charge a state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of the property. The deed still has to be signed before a notary and recorded with the County Clerk. Recording fees are charged by the page, not by the sale price; ask the clerk for the charge for your deed and make sure the document includes the buyer's mailing address.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Austin is a city, not a county. Confirm the county shown in the property’s official parcel record before using a county office. The routes on this page cover Hays, Travis, and Williamson Counties, plus Bastrop as a conditional route because county-boundary records differ about its relation to Austin city. A city label or mailing address alone does not choose the right county record.
Use the appraisal-district contact for the county shown on the parcel record. The Texas Comptroller county property-tax directories linked above are starting points for the county’s appraisal and tax contacts. An assessed value is different from an unpaid tax balance.
Use the Tax Assessor-Collector or tax office for the county shown on the parcel record, and have the property address or current tax notice ready. A tax balance is separate from an assessed value, a recorded deed, and a court judgment.
Use the County Clerk or official county-clerk roster for recorded deeds and real-property documents. For a court judgment, use the court named in the case or notice and the Texas Judicial Branch court directory linked above. A deed record and a court case are different records.
First confirm the county connected to the estate or court matter. The Bastrop County Probate Court and Travis County Clerk Probate Division links are above; the Texas Judicial Branch court directory helps locate court contacts for Hays and Williamson Counties. A county or city label does not establish a particular court’s venue or who may sign.
Texas does not charge a state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership of the property. The deed still must be signed before a notary and recorded with the County Clerk; recording fees are separate from a transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
For an address within City of Austin jurisdiction, use the City Development Services links above for code information, inspection records, or a Certificate of Occupancy. The City identifies Austin 3-1-1 as a local reporting route for common code concerns. Confirm the responsible jurisdiction for the exact address.
