Wow! Thanks midtown 4.2! You have re-kindled my dream to build a house instead of buying a cookie cutter house... Now I just need to find some reasonably priced land! Say under $30k...

Question: With all of the foreclosure listing services on the web for Houston, does anyone know how these foreclosure listing services get their data? Being a database administrator with a software development background, I find it hard to believe that these companies are sending employees down to city hall with laptops to manual type in information from public records. Some of these companies even claim they have pre-foreclosure listings... Does anyone know how these foreclosure listing companies are getting their data? And how accurate are these foreclosure lists? Thanks!

Thanks again RedScare!

Thanks Redscare and kjb434! The HCAD office was a big help. The staff members who assisted me was a very helpful and patient. I guess they could tell it was my first time in their office and took some pity on me... I was able to locate the name and address of the company who recently paid the taxes on the property... Unfortunately the address they have on file is a PO Box number. I tried looking up the company

Hello I am new to this site and have enjoyed reading the various discussions on different topics about property/buildings in and around Houston. Since this site is filled with people from a variety of professions, I was wondering if someone knew the steps for finding the owner of undeveloped land (Raw Land) that maybe located in or around Houston. I tried going to the tax collectors website but I was unsure what I was looking for. I noticed a couple of areas around the beltway that are not developed but I do not know the proper steps to track down the owner of the undeveloped property... Thanks everyone!!
