Property search, parcel maps and data downloads from the appraisal district, and the county and city GIS, floodplain and zoning resources a local search turns up, each opened on October 10, 2026. These are where parcel records, permits and zoning decisions come from.
Free, from the source. The Texas Geographic Information Office's statewide StratMap parcel layer carries Ellis County's parcels from the county appraisal district, tax year 2026, collected in July 2026. The appraisal district's own property search and parcel map are listed under local sources below. Data resellers charge for copies of the same records. Add the layer to a Felt map by URL to filter, measure and share parcels with your team.
Only inside city limits. Texas counties have no general zoning power, so unincorporated land in Ellis County is unzoned. Unzoned is not unregulated: Texas counties review subdivision plats and septic systems, and most permit development in the floodplain. Each city decides whether and how to zone. The city limits layer shows which city, if any, governs a site, and the cities' zoning maps are listed under local sources below.
15 cities and towns lie mostly inside Ellis County: Waxahachie, Midlothian, Ennis, Red Oak, Ovilla, Ferris, Palmer, Italy and 7 smaller towns. Parts of Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Cedar Hill, Glenn Heights and Venus reach in from neighbouring counties. The Census Bureau's current boundaries for incorporated places map each one.
19.6% of Ellis County's land and inland water lies in FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area, the floodplain with a 1% chance of flooding in any year (zone A and its subtypes such as AE, plus V zones on the coast). The county's flood map (FIRM) took effect on October 19, 2023. Since then, 18 letters of map revision have changed it, the latest effective October 5, 2026. Flood zones are a planning screen, not a determination: check the effective FIRM for a specific property.
HIFLD maps 341 miles of transmission line inside Ellis County: 140 mi at 138 kV and 201 mi at 345 kV. It marks 158 of those miles in service and records no status for the rest. The live map colours each line by voltage.
$95,898, against $76,292 for Texas (ACS 2019–2023 5-year estimates). Across its 36 census tracts (2020 boundaries), tract medians run from $52,000 to $158,943, with a median across tracts of $89,406.
