This page helps you handle a Property Search in Bastrop County, Texas by showing where to look, what details can narrow results, and which local offices handle common follow-up issues.

Most users will start with the Bastrop CAD Property Search for owner, address, property ID, and related parcel details. If you need map-based review, tax collection details, or help fixing ownership or mapping information, Bastrop Central Appraisal District and the Bastrop County Tax Office handle different parts of that process.

The main public search tool for Bastrop County property records is the Bastrop CAD online search. You can use it for owner lookups, address searches, parcel identifiers, and several advanced filters.

  • Owner name
  • Street number or street name
  • Property ID
  • Owner ID or Geographic ID
  • Tax year or property type when needed
  • Business name under “Doing Business As” for business searches

Open the search portal and choose the search tab that best matches what you know.

  • Use the owner search when you know the first name, last name, or both.
  • Use the address search for a street address. If needed, simplify the entry to just the street name or the number and street name.
  • Use Property ID when you have it, since the site states that this is the quickest way to locate a property.
  • Use Advanced Search for extra filters such as subdivision, abstract, neighborhood, condo, mobile home park, property type, or business name.

Tip: If you get too many results, add another field in Advanced Search. If you get no results, remove extra details and try a simpler version of the name or address.

Interactive map and search coverage

If you need a parcel view, aerial context, or boundary layers, Bastrop CAD also provides an interactive map. You can use the map for general parcel review, but it is not a legal survey and should not be used for legal, engineering, or surveying purposes.

Open the interactive parcel map when you want to compare parcel locations, subdivisions, school districts, city limits, flood layers, or related map overlays.

Some properties are not shown on the map. The help page says maps do not include personal property, mineral property, or mobile home property because of data limits. If a property does not fall into those categories and still is not mapped, Bastrop CAD advises contacting the appraisal district.

Current tax year, updates, and saving results

Property details online may lag behind recent changes. Bastrop CAD says updates made with the appraisal district can take time to appear on the website, and current-year tax data may show as N/A until values are certified.

The Bastrop CAD website states that 2026 values in the property search will be turned on May 1, and appraisal notices will be mailed on April 29. For taxes themselves, Bastrop CAD does not collect payments. Payment and collection questions go to the Bastrop County Tax Office.

You can also save search results from the Bastrop CAD search results page. The site says users can download a CSV file or use the email option available on the results page and on the property details page.

For tax collection information or a county-side property tax lookup, use the Bastrop County Tax Office property access page.

If your search needs go beyond a basic parcel lookup, Bastrop CAD offers several related public tools and service pages.

Common questions

How do I search by address in Bastrop County?

Use the address tab in the Bastrop CAD Property Search. Start with the full address. If that does not work, try only the street name or the number and street name, and leave off the street type such as Road, Drive, or Lane.

How do I search by owner name?

Use the owner search tab and enter the first and last name. If results are limited or too broad, try only the first name or only the last name, and consider alternate spacing for names such as Mc Donald.

Can I search for a business name instead of an individual owner?

Yes. Use Advanced Search and enter the business name in the “Doing Business As” field. If needed, shorten the name and try the first or last part of the business name.

What should I do if the property information looks wrong?

Bastrop CAD says the website is for informational purposes and advises contacting the appraisal district for the most accurate figures or to request corrections.

Why does the current year show N/A for tax data?

Bastrop CAD explains that properties are appraised throughout the year and current-year tax data becomes visible after values are certified.

Why is my property not showing on the interactive map?

The map does not include personal property, mineral property, or mobile home property. If your property is outside those categories and still is not displayed, contact Bastrop CAD for more information.

Can I save or export my search results?

Yes. The Bastrop CAD help page says search results can be downloaded as a CSV file or emailed from the results page. The email option is also available on the property details page.

Where do I go for property tax payments?

Bastrop CAD does not collect property tax payments. Payment and collection questions go to the Bastrop County Tax Office at (512) 581-7161.
