City limits and county records
Dimmitt sits in Castro County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Dimmitt is also the county seat, which puts the County Clerk close by. Local government in Dimmitt handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits toward Hart generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Nazareth that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the Castro CAD interactive map is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.

A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary for a parcel near Hart. On ground around Nazareth, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Hart looks off are handled by the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Nazareth go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Reading the plat sheet
Easements on the plat near Nazareth can block a shed or pool; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Requesting the plat
For property near Hart, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Out toward Nazareth, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk. Older tracts near Nazareth may sit on several deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
When a plat changes
Lots near Hart can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; street vacations show up in the records too.
How land is described here
Tracts outside towns near Hart are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call.

Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Nazareth, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Hart keeps working without signal.
