Common questions about Wise County

01Where can I find a Wise County parcel map and parcel data?

Free, from the source. The Texas Geographic Information Office's statewide StratMap parcel layer carries Wise 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 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.

02Does Wise County have zoning, and where is the zoning map?

Only inside city limits. Texas counties have no general zoning power, so unincorporated land in Wise 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.

03Which cities are in Wise County?

12 cities and towns lie mostly inside Wise County: Decatur, Bridgeport, Rhome, Runaway Bay, Boyd, Aurora, New Fairview, Alvord and 4 smaller towns. Parts of Fort Worth reach in from neighbouring counties. The Census Bureau's current boundaries for incorporated places map each one.

04Where is the Wise County flood map, and how much is in a flood zone?

12.1% of Wise 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 December 16, 2011. Since then, 10 letters of map revision have changed it, the latest effective October 2, 2026. Flood zones are a planning screen, not a determination: check the effective FIRM for a specific property.

05Where are the high-voltage transmission lines in Wise County?

HIFLD maps 425 miles of transmission line inside Wise County: 238 mi at 138 kV and 187 mi at 345 kV. It marks 209 of those miles in service and records no status for the rest. The live map colours each line by voltage.

06What is the median household income in Wise County?

$89,897, against $76,292 for Texas (ACS 2019–2023 5-year estimates). Across its 16 census tracts (2020 boundaries), tract medians run from $66,500 to $121,250, with a median across tracts of $91,666.
