Getting started with the Dumas property search
Use the appraisal district interactive map for a Dumas property search; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the appraisal district interactive map; it maps each assessed parcel from Cactus to Fritch. Near Cactus, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If you're looking near Fritch, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Where Dumas fits in
Dumas is part of Moore County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Dumas is also the county seat, handy when you need recorded documents. Closer to Cactus, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the city limits out by Sunray generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
Values and taxes
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Sunray; questions about value go to the appraisal district.
What the map can't tell you
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so the edge of a yard near Cactus often sits a few yards off the line on screen. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Sunray can take weeks to appear.
Land on the county line
Moore County meets Carson County, Dallam County, Hansford County, Hartley County, and Hutchinson County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Sunray may be split across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. Closer to Sunray, our state page links every bordering county map for Texas.

Looking around the parcel
