Sell your Irving house as-is

One county for every Irving address

Irving had an estimated 258,060 residents in 2024, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and the whole city sits in Dallas County. That keeps the paperwork simple: one appraisal district, one tax office and one county clerk serve every Irving address.

• Value and ownership on file. The Dallas Central Appraisal District offers Search Appraisals and Find Property on Map tools, which are the quickest way to confirm the account for a parcel. DCAD notes that its site is informational and that title research should be done at the County Clerk's office.
• Tax bills. The city's home page routes property tax payments to Dallas County. The Dallas County Tax Office is in the Records Building, 500 Elm Street, Suite 3300, at (214) 653-7811, and its page notes "Se Habla Español." Its FAQ topics include ownership and liens, payment arrangements, and certificates and written statements.
• Deeds. The County Clerk's Recording Division, in Suite 2100 of the same building at (214) 653-7099, records deeds, liens and releases. Dallas County's website also lets owners sign up for property fraud alerts, which is worth doing if a house will sit empty.

Water service and city requests during a sale

Utilities are often the first loose end when an Irving house changes hands. The city's Irving Water Utilities portal says a new service registration requires either the deed or a rental or lease agreement, plus a driver's license or another valid ID. Its online application adds that a customer service representative reviews each request before work orders are entered. Billing questions go to (972) 721-2411 and other questions to (972) 721-2600, and the office is at 825 W. Irving Boulevard.

To report a code problem, use the city home page, which links "Report Code Violations" to Irving's 311 Report A Concern site, where people who register can log back in to check the status of their requests. The home page also links a garage sale permit form, which is worth a look before an estate cleanout sale, and a link titled "Proposed Ordinances for Adopting the 2024 International Codes."

Selling an Irving rental with a tenant problem

Some Irving owners want to sell a rental but have a tenant who stopped paying or will not leave. Under Texas law, an eviction suit belongs in the justice court for the precinct where the property sits (Property Code § 24.004), and a landlord generally must give at least three days' written notice to vacate before filing, unless a written lease sets a different period. For unpaid rent, the notice may have to be a notice to pay rent or vacate (§ 24.005).

The Justice of the Peace 4-2 page says that since November 2021, Precinct 4 includes Irving. Both Precinct 4 courts sit in the Grand Prairie Government Center at 106 W. Church Street. The JP 4-1 evictions page adds a few practical points:

• Each precinct has two justice courts, and you may file in either one.
• JP 4-1 takes eviction petitions through eFile Texas, and appeals must be filed in person.
• It lists $134 for filing and service on one defendant and $405 for a writ of possession.

Dallas County also posts a locator for your Justice of the Peace district. Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas offers free civil legal help to low-income people and has a Dallas office at 1515 Main Street. A landlord-tenant attorney can explain your notice options. Our guide on vacant rental risks covers what comes after the house is empty.

Inherited Irving houses and Dallas County probate

When an Irving homeowner passes away, probate generally belongs in the county where that person lived (Estates Code § 33.001), which for Irving residents means Dallas County. The County Clerk's Probate Courts Division works out of the George Allen Courts Building, 600 Commerce Street, 7th Floor, Suite 400. Its FAQ names three courts (the Probate Court, Probate Court No. 2 and Probate Court No. 3) and says hearings are set by each court's docket coordinator, so you contact the court directly. A new application carries a $360 base fee, with posting fees chosen as extra services, and you can follow a case through Probate Case Search.

Taxes do not pause while an estate is open. A tax lien attaches to the property every January 1 (Tax Code § 32.01), and an unpaid bill becomes delinquent if not paid before February 1 of the following year (§ 31.02). A probate attorney can tell you who has authority to sell, and a CPA can speak to the tax side. For more, read selling an inherited house in Texas and getting heir property in your name.
