Palo Pinto is the unincorporated county seat of Palo Pinto County. The courthouse on Oak Street remains a civic reference point, while the Old Jail Museum preserves buildings and objects from county history. The community name and county name overlap, so precise addresses help when researching property.

### Places to know

**Old Jail Museum.** A preserved jail and museum complex documenting county history.

**Palo Pinto County Courthouse.** The county’s civic and records center on Oak Street.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Check county land records and service providers for the exact parcel; a county seat can be unincorporated and does not necessarily have city permitting.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
