Opening the Dumas GIS map: start here
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the appraisal district interactive map the main source for lots in Dumas.
The viewer Moore County publishes
Begin with the appraisal district interactive map; it includes each tax parcel around Cactus and Sunray. With a lot near Sunray, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. On ground around Sunray, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Fritch are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Sunray are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Cactus when you talk to a surveyor.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Cactus go to the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Sunray are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Moore County meets Carson County, Dallam County, Hansford County, Hartley County, and Hutchinson County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Fritch can be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. In and around Fritch, our state page lists each bordering county map for Texas.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Fritch, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Before you lean on the lines
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Sunray can sit several feet off the line on screen. Out toward Cactus, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Fritch, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Cactus with its ID keeps working without signal.
Saving what you find
Save a screenshot of the lot near Cactus and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.

Dumas sits in Moore County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Dumas is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. If you're looking near Fritch, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits toward Fritch often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
