For land around Richards, the Grimes County land owner map returns owner, value and acreage. This Grimes County guide covers: which viewer to use, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and how to confirm with the deed.
A Grimes County land owner map: start here
Out toward Todd Mission, the Grimes CAD interactive map is the free tool for this; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Grimes CAD interactive map; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Richards included. Closer to Todd Mission, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Apolonia, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county will want it.
Backing up the map with records
For a home near Iola, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk. For a home near Navasota, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Navasota are handled by the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Roans Prairie go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on land around Todd Mission. For acreage around Iola, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Reading the owner field
For an LLC on a parcel near Anderson, look it up in the state's business registry. An estate listed as owner near Shiro often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Next door to Grimes County
Grimes County borders Brazos County, Madison County, Montgomery County, Walker County, and Waller County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Iola that runs to the line can show up in two county records, so check the adjacent map too. If the land is near Shiro, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map for Texas.
When you need more than the map
With a lot near Plantersville, the parcel record is not proof of title; deeds filed with the County Clerk are what count.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Navasota to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Todd Mission, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Roans Prairie with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Getting your bearings
Anderson serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Bedias, Iola, Navasota, and Plantersville, each with its own cluster of lots. About 32,384 people live in Grimes County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 787 square miles. Grimes County was organized in 1846, so old deeds can run back a long way.
How land is described here
Older tracts around Pinebrook are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Plantersville are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Apolonia for any title or survey request.
Making contact
Include the parcel ID, why you're asking and how to reach you; absentee owners near Shiro often live elsewhere.
Taxes on the record
The record for a parcel near Richards often lists value and tax amounts; questions about value go to the appraisal district.
