Trying to understand lot lines near Lyford? What you want is the Raymondville plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. In this town guide: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet for land near Lyford.
The Raymondville plat map: start here
For a lot in Raymondville, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Texas county CAD map; it maps each assessed parcel from Lyford to San Perlita. In and around Lyford, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Lyford, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county will want it.
Reading the legal description
Rural deeds near San Perlita are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near San Perlita refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Lyford when you talk to a surveyor.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Lyford sit with the County Clerk. Long-held tracts around Lyford can trace back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Raymondville and the county around it
Raymondville is part of Willacy County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Raymondville hosts the courthouse, which puts the County Clerk close by. For a home near Lyford, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits toward Lyford often falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
If the tax map and plat differ near Lyford, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.
Limits of the parcel data
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Lyford may sit a few yards off the line on screen. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around San Perlita might lag behind.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Lyford belong with the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Lyford need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Lots, blocks and easements
Near San Perlita, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Online indexes and office visits
On ground around San Perlita, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near San Perlita, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near San Perlita with its ID keeps working without signal.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around San Perlita, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Land on the county line
Willacy County touches Cameron County, Hidalgo County, and Kenedy County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by San Perlita may show up across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map as well. For land near San Perlita, our state page lists every neighboring county map across Texas.
When there's no plat
