Laredo, Texas

Laredo's owners are named, free, on the State's StratMap parcel map, which carries the Webb Appraisal District roll: it shows the City holding the arena, the ballpark and the airport, CBL's companies owning Mall del Norte and the struggling outlet centre by the old bridge, and the Texas A&M University System holding the most valuable campus - but no public record states what anything sold for. Owner data now comes from the Texas Geographic Information Office's StratMap Land Parcels service (tax year 2026), read one parcel at a time, after the City's ArcGIS Online copy of the roll was found to be robots-blocked.

Can you find out who owns it?

Texas keeps no public title register; ownership is read from the county appraisal district. In Laredo that is the Webb County Appraisal District (Webb CAD), whose own site is a JavaScript property-search portal. The Texas Geographic Information Office republishes the roll statewide as StratMap Land Parcels (CC0): its map service names the owner of record, mailing address, legal description and 2026 land, improvement and market value of each account, one parcel at a time. Deeds are recorded by the Webb County Clerk, whose online index sits behind a login: copies cost $1 a page and $5 to certify. What no record holds is a price. Texas has no mandatory sales disclosure, and sales an appraisal district obtains privately are confidential under Government Code Sec. 552.149.

The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

The core land

The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.

Single accounts read from the 2026 Webb Appraisal District roll as the State's StratMap parcel service carries it (identify at one point at a time; the service allows no queries, so no roll-wide totals). In Laredo the most valuable ground is institutional - a university, a hospital, a prison and the federal courthouse - and the downtown grid by the bridges is worth little. Owner data now comes from TxGIO StratMap.

Who owns the town

At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.

Who holds the most ground inside the City cannot now be totalled: the account-by-account tally came from a robots-blocked City layer, and the State's StratMap service answers one parcel at a time. Single 2026 accounts show the pattern - the Texas A&M University System, the City (arena, ballpark, airport), Webb County and the federal government hold the institutional core, and Killam Ranch Properties Ltd holds large tracts on the edge (309.45 acres on US Highway 83; 195.2 and 112.8 acres by Casa Blanca Lake). The rail bridge's northern half is CPKC's through Mexrail.

Who builds the houses

New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.

Laredo builds starter homes on its own terms. The Census Bureau counted 1,340 new units permitted in the City in 2025: 1,029 single-family homes worth $288.9 million on permit (about $281,000 each), 8 in duplexes, 46 in 3-4 unit buildings and 257 in buildings of five or more. Which builders hold the lots cannot now be counted: the roll-wide tally came from a robots-blocked City layer, and the State's StratMap service answers only one parcel at a time.

Commercial landlords

The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.

Laredo's commercial roll is dominated by warehouses and institutions, but its largest local holders can no longer be totalled (see unverified). Filings name the national owners: CBL's two malls, STAG's two warehouses (462,658 sq ft), The GEO Group's Rio Grande Processing Center and Community Health Systems' Laredo Medical Center. Single-account values come from TxGIO StratMap (2026).

Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.

  • Webb CAD's own terms of use, data downloads and any licence. www.webbcad.org is a JavaScript portal that renders nothing to a script, and the State's StratMap copy is published CC0.
  • The use of the 77.73 acres held by the United States of America within the 'Laredo Northwest International Bridge' plat. They are presumably the World Trade Bridge inspection compound, but the layer does not say so and no GSA or CBP page was opened.
  • The Juárez-Lincoln and Gateway to the Americas bridges' City ownership rests on Wikipedia (each page says 'owned and operated by the City of Laredo and the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes'), since the City's own bridge-system pages could not be read (Akamai).
  • Who stands behind the Majestic Port Grande, TW Laredo, Laredo Portfolio, 35N and Exeter-named companies, and behind the PO Box 450169 group (ASA, SKG Homes). No filing or company page opened here names them, so they are grouped by mailing address and no parent is asserted.
  • Sale prices. Texas has no sales disclosure and the County Clerk's deed index is closed to scripts. The only stated prices are CBL's combined $249.4M for Mall del Norte and Northpark Mall (2004) and project costs from Wikipedia (arena $36.5M, stadium $18M).
