Running a Canyon property search step by step
Open the Randall CAD map to start; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Randall CAD map; it includes every tax parcel in the county, Palisades included. In and around Happy, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a parcel near Palisades, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Canyon and the county around it
Canyon is part of Randall County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Canyon is also the county seat, which puts the County Clerk close by. For a home near Palisades, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits toward Happy usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
A word on accuracy
