Builders bidding a house on a lot in Stockton Bend start with the parcel ID and legal description, since permit paperwork usually asks for both.

Acreage and vacant lot search
Five steps for vacant land in Hood County:
- Scan the imagery around Oak Trail Shores; open fields and woodlots with no driveway stand out right away.
- Build a short list of open parcels around Cresson with owner names and acreage before you make any calls.
- Measure the road frontage on the map; a sliver of frontage on a road outside Tolar may not be enough for a driveway permit.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Granbury to sanity-check an asking price.
- Before you sign for land near Granbury, check what the local planning and health offices will allow on it.
