Shopping for acreage near Tennyson? When you're browsing Coke County land for sale, the official map and county records can save you a bad buy. What this Coke County guide covers: spotting open tracts on the map, checking access and acreage, flood zone and zoning questions, and documents to order before you offer.
How to research Coke County land for sale
On the Coke CAD interactive map, vacant land often shows a zero or low improvement value, useful when you scan the area near Robert Lee.
The viewer Coke County publishes
Your first stop is the Coke CAD interactive map; it includes every assessed parcel around Tennyson and Silver. For land near Blackwell, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. On ground around Silver, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Checking access first
Confirm the parcel touches a public road or has a recorded easement, because landlocked ground near Sanco is hard to use and finance.
Water and soil checks
Look up land near Robert Lee on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center before you fall for a creek view; the National Wetlands Inventory mapper gives a first look at wetlands.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Closer to Sanco, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Clerk. On ground around Tennyson, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
Visiting the tract
Visit the tract near Sanco at different times, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.
How land is described here
Tracts outside towns near Blackwell commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Robert Lee usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Bronte for any title or survey request.
Before you lean on the lines
Near Sanco, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. If the land is near Robert Lee, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Robert Lee, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Bronte and its lines keeps working without signal.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Tennyson are handled by the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Silver are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Mineral and timber rights
Rights below the surface near Silver may belong to someone else, so read the deed and ask the title company.
Getting your bearings
Robert Lee is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Blackwell, Bronte, Sanco, and Silver. Roughly 3,352 people call Coke County home (Census estimate, 2023) across about 912 square miles. Coke County was organized in 1889, so old deeds can run back a long way.
What you can do with it
Agricultural or forestry tax status near Bronte can change after a sale, ask the appraisal district what happens to taxes.
Neighboring parcel maps
The county touches Mitchell County, Nolan County, Runnels County, Sterling County, and Tom Green County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map, at least around Sanco. A tract near the line by Robert Lee may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. In and around Silver, our state page lists each bordering county map for Texas.
