A map is only useful if it’s easy to navigate. When you first open our Planning and Development Services Interactive Map, the splash of colors and layers can feel overwhelming, but beneath those visual details lies invaluable information for property owners, buyers and neighbors alike.

To help you get started, we created a quick video tutorial that walks you through the basics.

Whether you need to find the official plat for a property, check floodplain elevations near a park, or discover what development is permitted in that empty field near your neighborhood, the data — and much more — is right at your fingertips.

If you still have questions after watching the video, our team is here to help walk you through the details:

• Planner-on-Call: 979-764-3858 | poc@cstx.gov
• Engineer-on-Call: 979-764-2680 | eoc@cstx.gov

We also invite you to explore the other interactive City maps available on our website to learn more about our community.
