Getting oriented in Nueces County
Besides Corpus Christi, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Portland, and Agua Dulce. Crossroads communities such as Banquete, La Paloma-Lost Creek, and North San Pedro have their own small clusters of lots. Roughly 352,289 people (Census Bureau, 2023) share Nueces County's 839 square miles of land. Much of Nueces County is built out, so the parcel map is busiest with subdivision lots, though rural edges and undeveloped tracts still turn up.
The Nueces County economy in brief
In the 2022 County Business Patterns data, Nueces County had 8,045 establishments; health care and social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation and food services led the count. Compared with the nation, the county has an unusually high share of businesses in pipeline transportation, support activities for mining and drilling, and oil and gas extraction. Ranch and farm tracts around Corpus Christi can carry separate mineral ownership, so read the deed before you price the surface.
How to use the Nueces County parcel map
Parcels from Bishop to North San Pedro are on the Nueces CAD interactive map, which the county runs on a BIS Consulting map viewer. Search a Bishop address or an owner, and the map zooms to the account with its property ID and legal description. We keep the link current on our Nueces County (TX) directory page, next to the neighboring maps.
Acreage and vacant lot search
Try this the next time you're looking for land near Agua Dulce:
- Pan the Nueces County map with imagery turned on and flag any tract that looks empty.
- For each tract near Corpus Christi, note the parcel ID, the owner and where the tax bill is mailed.
- Compare the record's land value against similar parcels on the same road out of Portland.
- Trace the frontage on any tract near North San Pedro; without it, access depends on a recorded easement.
- For a tract near Corpus Christi, confirm zoning, septic suitability and flood status before you make an offer.
Who uses the Nueces County parcel map

- First-time land buyers near North San Pedro use the map to find unbuilt tracts and contact owners directly.
How to find property lines in Nueces County
A lot line on the Nueces County parcel map near Driscoll is a drawing based on deeds, not a measurement taken on site. Ranch tracts near Driscoll are described by survey name and abstract number, which you can usually find on the appraisal map. A survey is the only document that settles where a Nueces County boundary actually runs.
Behind the map: land records in Nueces County
Behind each Nueces County parcel is an assessment by the appraisal district and a deed recorded with the county. For a tract near Aransas Pass, the appraised value is set by the Nueces County appraisal district, which Texas law keeps separate from county government. Rural tracts near North San Pedro may go back through several deeds; the instrument number on the record is the first link in that chain.
