Want a copy of the Hunt County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, popular with hunters, farmers and buyers near Celeste. What this Hunt County guide covers: how the atlas is organized, where to look for printed copies, and the free online map that stays current.
Tracking down a Hunt County plat book
For a home near Fairlie, plat books are commercial atlases, with owner names on each tract, usually township by township.
The viewer Hunt County publishes
Parcels around Caddo Mills appear on the Hunt CAD map, which opens without registering. For a tract near Fairlie, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. If the land is near Cash, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
What the map can't tell you
With a lot near Jacobia, the acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. If the land is near Farmersville, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Cash go to the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Fairlie go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For land near Caddo Mills, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk. Older tracts around Caddo Mills may sit on many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Editions and availability
Libraries near Cash sometimes keep past atlases, which helps when tracing a farm's history.
Between editions
For current names, use the Hunt CAD map, across the county, for land near Campbell included.
Why people still buy them
Buyers and seed dealers around Fairlie rely on them to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Not the same thing
In and around Campbell, a plat book is not a recorded plat: the recorded plat at the County Clerk is a legal document, and the atlas is just a guide.
Next door to Hunt County
Hunt County touches Collin County, Delta County, Fannin County, Hopkins County, and Kaufman County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Campbell can show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too. For a tract near Cash, our state page links every neighboring county map for Texas.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Farmersville, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Cash with its ID keeps working without signal.
Legal descriptions in Texas
Rural deeds near Farmersville commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Fairlie usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Farmersville before you request a deed or survey.
Places you'll see on the map
Greenville holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Caddo Mills, Campbell, Celeste, and Commerce. Roughly 113,347 people live in the county (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 840 square miles for land near Cash. Hunt County was formed in 1846, so old deeds can run back a long way.
