Looking at a tract outside US Route 290? While you compare Kimble County land for sale, spend some time with the free parcel map and public records. What this Kimble County guide covers: spotting open tracts on the map, checking access and acreage, flood and zoning checks, and the records to pull.
How to research Kimble County land for sale
Not every tract near US Route 290 is listed, and the record gives the owner's mailing address.
The free map to start with
Begin with the appraisal district interactive map; it covers each assessed parcel from London to US Route 290. For land near US Route 290, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If the land is near Segovia, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county asks for it first.
What the deed may not include
In some areas, mineral or timber rights near Roosevelt can be sold separately, which a title search can uncover.
Is the tract reachable?
Confirm the parcel touches a public road or has a recorded easement, because landlocked ground near US Route 290 is hard to use and finance.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around US Route 290 sit with the County Clerk. For a tract near US Route 290, have ready the instrument number from the tax record to skip a name search.
Legal descriptions in Texas

On site with the map

Which office to call

Taxes and land use
If a tract near US Route 290 carries a farm or timber classification, ask the appraisal district what happens to taxes.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near US Route 290 may sit some distance off the line on screen. In and around Segovia, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
