Sell Your Pasadena House As-Is

Harris County is the only county on the place record

Pasadena's row in the statewide place file this site keeps names a single county, Harris County. Fort Bend County is not on that row, and neither is Chambers County. When an appraisal notice names a different county, the house is not the Pasadena this page covers, even if a magazine or a utility bill still prints the city. Harris Central Appraisal District is the office the Comptroller's Harris County directory lists. The street address on that directory is 13013 Northwest Frwy., Houston, TX 77040. The building is in Houston. It values Pasadena land because the city sits in Harris County, not because the district moved to the ship channel.

Look up the account on the district site when you have the tax-office number from the notice. The directory is the index of who values and who collects. It is not a zoning map, and it will not tell you whether a particular lot was annexed last year. For that, the notice and a survey beat a mailing label. Suburbs that still have no URL of their own stay indexed on the Houston metro page. The city of Houston, rather than this suburb, is the separate Houston page.

Five ZCTAs are mostly inside the city limits

The Census ZCTA-to-place file shipped with this project measures land, not mailboxes. For Pasadena it shows 77502 entirely inside the city, about 12.5 percent of the city's land. 77505 is about 98.4 percent inside the ZCTA and about 18.9 percent of the city. 77503 is about 96.7 percent of the ZCTA and about 14.0 percent of the city. 77504 is about 84.1 percent of the ZCTA and about 10.8 percent of the city. 77506 is about 66.4 percent of the ZCTA and about 17.2 percent of the city. Those five are the ZIP codes on this page.

Several other numbers touch the limit and fail the same test. About 21.3 percent of 77507's land is inside Pasadena, and that slice is about 7.9 percent of the city. 77586 is about 26.0 percent inside the ZCTA and about 6.9 percent of the city. 77058 is about 28.9 percent of the ZCTA and about 5.5 percent of the city. 77059 is about 23.8 percent of the ZCTA and about 5.0 percent of the city. They are left off the list because most of each ZCTA sits somewhere else. A contract that recites 77507 and calls the city Pasadena still needs the appraisal account. The account, not the ZIP, says whether Harris County and this city both apply.

What to send with a Pasadena address

Send the appraisal notice, not only the street. We want Harris County on it, and we want the legal description. If a surveyor has already marked a metes-and-bounds tract that was never given its own lot, say so, because the tax account and the deed can disagree about what is being sold. Photos of the condition belong with that paper so the house and the account are the same story.

You can sell as-is, without repairs. We pay all closing costs, and we can close in 7–14 days when title is clear. There is no agent commission. Name the ZIP and the county in the first note so we do not treat a 77507 mailing address as if it were 77502. If the house is actually inside Houston instead of Pasadena, start from the Houston page and leave this suburb page.
