About Real County
Real County covers 699 square miles of southern Texas, with the county seat at Leakey. The county appraisal district, which is a separate office from the county itself, values your house and land. The County Tax Assessor-Collector bills and collects the tax, often for the schools and the city too, and the County Clerk keeps recorded land documents.
