Land questions in Grimes County start in the same place: the official parcel map. Here's how to use the Grimes County parcel map to find owners, acreage and boundary lines, and where it falls short.

Towns, terrain and land across Grimes County
Start your bearings with Anderson, the county seat, then Bedias, Iola, Navasota, and Plantersville. You'll also find unincorporated communities, among them Pinebrook, Richards, and Shiro. Grimes County was created in 1846 and takes its name from Jesse Grimes. Census Bureau estimates show 32,384 residents in 2023 and around 787 square miles of land in the county. Town lots in Iola give way to farm tracts and woodlots within a mile or two, and the roads toward Navasota are lined with small acreage splits.
The Grimes County economy in brief
Federal business data for 2022 shows 511 establishments in the county, with retail trade, construction, and other services at the top of the list. Measured against national shares, fabricated metal product manufacturing, heavy and civil engineering construction, and agriculture and forestry support services are overrepresented in Grimes County. Around Plantersville, a wooded tract on the map may be a working forest; recent aerials and the deed will show whether timber rights were reserved.
Getting into the Grimes CAD interactive map
The Grimes CAD interactive map is the county's own public parcel viewer; it runs on a BIS Consulting map viewer. In Grimes County, the appraisal map pop-up shows the property ID, owner and legal description; copy the ID before you close the tab.

Using the Grimes County parcel map to find vacant land
How to work the Grimes County parcel map for open land:
- Turn on the photo basemap and work outward from Bedias one road at a time, flagging parcels with no buildings.
- Check who owns each open tract near Todd Mission and where the tax bill goes.
- Confirm legal access. In Grimes County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Todd Mission to sanity-check an asking price.
- Last, call the Grimes County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.
Who needs this map
A buyer who wants ten or twenty acres near Navasota can rule out most of the wrong tracts from a desk before driving out. Vacant-lot hunters working the edges of Navasota look for parcels with no structures and owners who live out of the area. Deer hunters scouting the woods between Iola and Navasota use the parcel lines to see how many owners share one ridge or creek bottom.
How accurate are Grimes County, TX property lines?
On rural tracts near Shiro, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Texas rural land is described by original survey and abstract number, not sections and townships, and the Grimes County appraisal map usually shows the abstract lines. A survey is the only document that settles where a Grimes County boundary actually runs.
Behind the map: land records in Grimes County
Behind each Grimes County parcel is an assessment by the appraisal district and a deed recorded with the county. Like every Texas county, Grimes County has its own appraisal district; it values property for all the local taxing units, while each unit sets its own rate. Rural tracts near Shiro may go back through several deeds; the instrument number on the record is the first link in that chain.
