Look on the Kerr CAD interactive map for parcels with no improvements, a quick filter for ground near Mountain Home.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Kerr CAD interactive map; it maps each tax parcel from Hunt to Camp Verde. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around Hunt too. Out toward Camp Verde, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
Kerr County in a few facts
Kerrville holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Ingram, Center Point, Camp Verde, and Hunt. Roughly 53,915 people live in Kerr County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 1,103 square miles. The county dates to 1856, and some chains of title near Kerrville are long.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Ingram, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Center Point and its lines keeps working without signal.
Legal descriptions in Texas

A site visit checklist
Visit the tract near Center Point at different times, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.
Mineral and timber rights
Rights below the surface near Ingram may belong to someone else, so read the deed and ask the title company.
Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Camp Verde too. Out toward Mountain Home, bring the instrument number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Checking access first
Make sure there's legal access, not just a path, since a tract near Center Point without access can be a headache.
Water and soil checks
Check the tract near Mountain Home on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center for mapped flood zones; wet ground can also show on the National Wetlands Inventory mapper.
Zoning, taxes and rules
If a tract near Camp Verde carries a farm or timber classification, ask the appraisal district what happens to taxes.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Ingram are handled by the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Camp Verde need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
