Before you buy a lot near Dilley with a plan in mind, check the Pearsall zoning map first: a district label decides setbacks, lot size and uses. In this Pearsall guide: which office sets the rules for a lot, matching a lot to its zoning district, and the questions that save a wasted trip.
The Pearsall zoning map: start here
Within municipal limits, zoning usually comes from the municipality, so a lot in Pearsall answers to that map. Past the city line, around Bigfoot, county rules apply where they exist; ask the county planning office to be sure. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: look for a city limits layer in the Frio County parcel viewer.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Bigfoot are published on the Frio County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. For property near Dilley, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Around Dilley, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Pearsall and the county around it
Pearsall is part of Frio County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Pearsall hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For a tract near Dilley, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the city limits out by Dilley usually follows county rules rather than the town's.
Matching a lot to the Pearsall zoning map
Look up the lot on the Frio County parcel viewer first, note the parcel number, and match it to the adopted zoning map. Short codes on the map aren't self-explanatory, so read the ordinance chapter for each; codes near Bigfoot may differ from the next town's.

If the land is near Bigfoot, the Platbookmapper state page lists every bordering county map for Texas.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Bigfoot are handled by the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Dilley go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Places you'll see on the map
Pearsall holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Dilley and Bigfoot. Around 17,987 people live in Frio County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 1,134 square miles. The county was formed in 1871, which matters when you trace an old farm's title, especially near Bigfoot.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Dilley. For a tract near Bigfoot, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Building permits and inspections
Once zoning clears a project near Dilley, you still need building permits and inspections; septic or sewer and driveway access are often reviewed too.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Dilley are kept by the County Clerk. Older tracts near Dilley can go back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Legal descriptions in Texas
Rural deeds near Dilley are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in Bigfoot refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Bigfoot for any title or survey request.
Questions for the planning office
When you call about land near Bigfoot, give the parcel number and your intended use; ask what's allowed by right and what needs a permit. Ask whether a parcel near Dilley meets current minimum size, since some older splits don't.
Reading the ordinance
If the land is near Dilley, each district lists what's allowed outright and what needs approval. Closer to Dilley, overlay districts, whether historic, floodplain or corridor, may apply even when the base zoning looks simple.
Variances and rezoning
On ground around Bigfoot, expect an application, a fee, notice to neighbors and a public hearing.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
