Public Data

Using HCAD's Public Data
HCAD's data product downloads are available to users that would like to import certain data and conduct their own queries and spread sheet applications locally. The ASCII tab-delimited text files are very complex and most of the files are very large. Download times can be excessive and should not be attempted with a dial up internet connection.  A file compression utility (WinZip or PKZip) is needed to extract the files. 

Documentation and Instructions
The data is provided in ASCII tab-delimited text files and will need to be formatted for use in a database. We have provided empty Microsoft Access tables along with instructions on how to import the data.  HCAD does not provide technical support for Microsoft Access.

Public Data CDs
Public Data is also available on a set of 2 CDs (CAMA and GIS separate) which can be purchased for $1.00 each ($2 for both), plus $2.00 shipping (cash, checks or money orders only).  Make checks payable to HCAD and mail to Attn: Kelly Sherbert PO Box 922004 Houston TX 77292-2004. 

Please call Information & Assistance at HCAD at 713-957-7873 for more questions.  All technical questions about public data can be directed to pdata@hcad.org.
