FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

01

Start with the right county for Van Alstyne

Which of Collin County, Grayson County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

Northern Blackland Prairie belongs to Texas Blackland Prairies. What do existing soil reports, drainage records and the survey show for the specific tract rather than the broader prairie region?

03
