About the official source
Texas splits the job: an appraisal district, not the county itself, values each property. This viewer belongs to the district covering Hays County. When we tested the link in October 2026 it opened with no login and no fee.
How to use the Hays County viewer
- Open the link. In Texas, each county's appraisal district (CAD) values property for local taxing units, and this is the CAD's public map.
- Search by owner, address or property ID. The property ID is the account number the CAD uses on its records.
- Click a parcel on the map to bring up its account summary.
- Use the account details to look up values or the full appraisal record on the CAD's site.
Rural addresses don't always geocode well. When that happens, zoom in by hand and click the parcel, or search by owner name.

Maps vs. surveys
Treat the map as a guide, not a boundary survey: parcel outlines are often shifted a bit from the real corners. A licensed surveyor settles exact lines.
