Note that the data in this viewer is not updated automatically or in real-time, and the City of Austin makes no warranty regarding the specific accuracy or completeness of this data.

Property profile map

You can also review the 2008 spreadsheet of City-owned properties managed by the Financial Services Department, including property address, size of the parcel of land, Travis Central Appraisal District ID number, and a City map grid number (e.g., “M23”) that corresponds to a location within the City zoning grid. The corresponding map book is also available for download, though due to its size, it is split into 5 separate PDF documents.

Occasionally City-owned properties may be available for lease. Information on those properties and instructions for submitting proposals will be posted here. Please submit all inquiries regarding properties available for lease in writing to Leasing@austintexas.gov.
