Where Parker County liens are recorded
Parker County Clerk, Records-Deeds Division, 1112 Santa Fe Drive, Weatherford, TX 76086. County Clerk recording page.
The county requires photo ID to record real property documents in person. We take care of recording for you.
After recording, we confirm the lien is on record and send you the recorded copy with its recording number.
Finding the legal owner and legal description
A lien has to name the owner and describe the property correctly. In Parker County we pull that from the Parker Appraisal District records, then check it against the deed records. The street address on your invoice is often not enough: the record owner may be an LLC, a trust or a builder, not the person who hired you.
Azle is mostly in Tarrant County and Mineral Wells is mostly in Palo Pinto County, so an address in either city could belong to Parker or the neighboring county. We check the appraisal record before filing.
