Here are some of the web sites I frequently use to find the taxable value of the property, its age, its owner, zoning and planning issues in the area, and information on corporate owners :

Tarrant County Appraisal District: http://www.co.tarrant.tx.us/tc_countyclerk/lib/tc_countyclerk/SEARCH.ASP
Denton County Appraisal District: http://www.dentoncad.org/
City of Dallas - Business Services: http://www.dallascityhall.com/business/geninfo/
City of Plano - Business Services: http://www.planotx.org/business.html
City of Rowlett - Tax Information: http://www.ci.rowlett.tx.us/economic/incentives.htm

These web sites and the information on them
are merely reference tools; they are not sufficient to base an investment
decision upon. As mentioned
elsewhere on this site
, more than a little research should go into making any such decision.
If you are having trouble figuring out what you need to know or how to
proceed, please contact my office for help.
