Who runs this map
In Texas, property values are set by appraisal districts rather than by the county government, so this map comes from the appraisal district that serves Sterling County. When we tested the link in October 2026 it opened with no login and no fee.
Finding a property on this map
- Press the button above to open the appraisal district's map. Texas appraisal districts set taxable values, so their maps tie each parcel to a property account.
- Look up a property by its owner, situs address or property ID.
- Click any lot to see the account number and basic details.
- Follow the record link, when there is one, for values and exemptions.
If an address search comes up empty, try the parcel number from a tax bill or deed instead, or click the lot on the map.
