Useful offices

Waco and McLennan County resources: what each office handles

Use the property address and the tax notice, deed, or case papers in front of you when contacting an office. County office details can differ by task.

McLennan Appraisal District

McLennan County · property valuation, assessment records, and parcel questions

Start here for an assessed value, appraisal record, or parcel question. Appraisal records are separate from unpaid-tax collection, deed records, and court case files.

McLennan County Tax Assessor-Collector

McLennan County · property-tax accounts and collection questions

Ask this office about an unpaid county property-tax account, balance, or payment route. That is different from asking the Appraisal District about a property value.

The Comptroller directory marks its separate collector listing as last updated January 1, 2013. Confirm the current county contact and parcel-specific balance using the County page or the tax notice before acting.

McLennan County Clerk

McLennan County · deeds and recorded land documents

Use the County Clerk for deed recording and recorded land-record questions. Check with the County for the current search or recording route, contact details, and fees before sending a document.

McLennan County Courts at Law

McLennan County · court-file and judgment questions

For a court-file or judgment question, start with the court named on the case papers. The Texas court directory lists the County Court at Law and County Court at Law Nos. 2 and 3 at 501 Washington Avenue in Waco. The directory does not identify a probate assignment or decide a case’s venue.

A Texas sale-cost rule

Texas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax

Texas has no state, county, or city real-estate transfer tax on a sale that conveys full ownership. The deed still must be signed in front of a notary and recorded with the county clerk. Ask the title or closing professional about the recording requirements and charges for your deed.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Where should I ask about unpaid McLennan County property taxes?

Ask the McLennan County Tax Assessor-Collector about an unpaid property-tax account or balance. The Comptroller directory’s collector listing is marked last updated January 1, 2013, so confirm current contact details and the parcel-specific balance with the County or the tax notice.
