Start with the right jurisdiction

Identify the New Braunfels county before opening the title and tax files

New Braunfels spans Comal and Guadalupe counties, and the county line controls which Clerk records deeds and liens. Use the legal description, appraisal account, or official City and Census mapping to identify the county instead of relying on ZIP code. Search the correct Clerk's Official Public Records for the deed, deed of trust, releases, plats, easements, and recorded restrictions. Match the results to the death certificate, trust, will, or probate appointment before anyone signs. For the structure, use New Braunfels Building Safety and its public permit search. Review the file for additions, garage conversions, decks, pools, reroofs, trade work, and accessory spaces. If the property changed county through annexation or has a New Braunfels mailing address outside City limits, confirm the present jurisdiction before deciding which permit office controls.

The property plan should also reflect the exact site and use. The Comal and Guadalupe river corridors, mapped floodplains, and drainage areas do not affect every address the same way. Save official parcel-specific information and known flood or insurance records. If the house has been rented for short stays, obtain City registration or permit history, booking agreements, lodging-tax records, reservations, and possession details rather than assuming the activity can continue after transfer. Collect HOA documents, septic or sewer information, foundation and roof records, and the status of pools or detached structures. Compare a prepared listing, an as-is listing, a direct offer, and a hold on expected net proceeds. Include the correct county taxes, utilities, insurance, landscape or pool service, cleanout, rental wind-down, permits, repairs, commissions, concessions, and the months heirs must manage the property.
