How to use the Houston 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.
Have a tax bill handy? The parcel or account number on it is usually the fastest way to search.

Maps vs. surveys
Keep in mind that a GIS parcel layer is a tax map, not a survey. For exact boundaries, look at the recorded deed and plat or hire a licensed land surveyor.
