The Texas County Information Project

TAC's County Information Project (CIP) is a central clearinghouse for county-related information. Partnerships with the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the Texas State Data Center and other agencies provide much of the raw data, which CIP then turns into comprehensible information.

CIP regularly answers questions using data on hand, such as "what counties are comparable to mine based upon population, geographic size, tax rates, etc.?" A large part of this information is available on TAC's website (Basic Data). The CIP can also prepare custom reports and maps at the request of county officials, the legislature, state and federal agencies, and individuals.

New Items

The TAC 2012 Salary Survey Form is available to download in MS Excel 2007 format. Be sure to save it locally (and note where you saved it) before adding data. We also have a PDF version of the form available. Please contact Tim Brown at (800) 456-5974 or (512) 478-8753 if you need the survey form in a different format or have a question about the survey. The report, when completed, will be published in PDF format on our Financial Data page. Here's a map showing which counties have returned the survey form so far.

We've added the 2010 property tax rate data, obtained from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. See our County Profiles page to access the data.
