Property search, parcel maps and data downloads from the appraisal district; the county clerk's deed and plat records; the county and city GIS, floodplain and zoning resources a local search turns up; and the state's survey, oil and gas and soil maps. Each was opened on November 7, 2026. These are where parcel records, deeds, permits and zoning decisions come from.
Free, from the source. The Texas Geographic Information Office's statewide StratMap parcel layer carries Madison County's parcels from the county appraisal district, tax year 2026, collected in March 2026. The appraisal district's own property search and parcel map are listed under local sources above. TxGIO's DataHub also offers the county's parcels as a free shapefile download. 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 Madison 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 city planning, GIS and zoning pages are listed under local sources above.
With the county clerk, not the appraisal district. Deeds, plats, easements and other real property records are recorded by the Madison County Clerk; the appraisal district's records and parcel maps are for property tax, and its boundaries are approximate, not a survey. The clerk's office and its online records search are listed under local sources above. For a property's legal boundary, the recorded plat or a licensed surveyor's survey is the authority.
Rural Texas land is described by its original survey, abstract number, and block and section. The Railroad Commission's public GIS viewer maps survey lines with their abstract numbers across the state, along with oil and gas wells and pipelines, and offers the same layers as free county downloads. The General Land Office holds the original survey and land grant files, searchable by county and abstract number, and 52 historic maps of Madison County, from county maps to surveyors' working sketches. All are listed under local sources above.
2 cities and towns lie mostly inside Madison County: Madisonville and Midway. Parts of Normangee reach in from neighbouring counties. The Census Bureau's current boundaries for incorporated places map each one.
FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer has no countywide digital flood map for Madison County, so it gives no countywide floodplain figure. It may have an older paper map, or none. For a specific property, look up the effective map at FEMA's Map Service Center.
HIFLD maps 53 miles of transmission line inside Madison County: 38 mi at 138 kV and 15 mi at 345 kV. It marks 31 of those miles in service and records no status for the rest. The live map colours each line by voltage.
