Uhland, Texas
Uhland lies in the Central Texas farm country between Austin and San Marcos, in Hays County near the Caldwell County line about 10 miles from San Marcos. The community was settled by German immigrants in the 1800s and takes its name from the German poet Ludwig Uhland; for generations its stores served the cotton farmers and ranchers along Plum Creek. It sits within the fast-growing corridor south of Austin along the Interstate 35 axis.

Uhland crosses county lines, so the appraisal district and tax office depend on the parcel address. School, city-limit, MUD, PID, and other special-district lines can be different too. Start with the full county list below instead of treating one county as the answer.
Official routes
Use the office for the parcel address; a mailing city is not always the governing city.

What to know around Uhland
County lines carry much of the property, land, water, and outdoors context around Uhland.
Oil History
Luling still wears its 1922 oil story in plain sight
Edgar B. Davis's 1922 discovery turned Luling into an oil boomtown, and decorated working pump jacks still carry that history through town.
Property Tax Basics
Two different offices handle your property taxes
Caldwell CAD appraises taxable property and collects local property taxes; the county Tax Assessor-Collector handles vehicles instead.
County Founding
Hays County began with a borrowed courtroom
The new county took John Coffee Hays's name in 1848, then held court in a log church-schoolhouse while San Marcos took shape.
