Compiled from the Dallas Central Appraisal District certified appraisal roll (certified July 2026), aggregating every residential unit account at this address. Account counts reflect current tax parcels - owner combinations over the years mean historic buildings often show fewer accounts than originally marketed units. Sales tempo counts deed-transfer dates on unit accounts - Texas is a non-disclosure state, so prices aren't public, but turnover is. Assessed values are the county's tax appraisals, which typically trail market sale prices. Homestead percentage counts accounts with an active homestead exemption - a useful public-record proxy for owner occupancy that lenders may consider. The mailing-address figure is a rougher approximation. See the county rankings and the open dataset.

Submissions are reviewed against documents; corrections are published openly on the file.
Transfers & tracking § 06
Texas is a non-disclosure state — closed prices never enter the public record, and this file does not estimate them. What the county record verifies here: 11 recorded deed transfers in the trailing twelve months (7 in the prior twelve), latest instrument recorded June 15, 2026. Transfer tempo is a liquidity signal, not a price; assessed medians live in the county record above.

The 1982 declaration, seven amendments & who it suits § 07
La Tour’s condominium declaration was recorded December 7, 1982, as Dallas County Document 198202373785, the same instrument that carries the plat on pages 55 through 87. DCAD dates the building to 1981. Owners have amended the declaration seven times: in 1983, 1984, 1990, 1993 and 1998, then again in June 2019 and December 2021. The association has a long formal name, The La Tour Council Co-Owners Association, and it is managed through FirstService Residential Texas.
DCAD files the 95 accounts under several legal spellings, mainly LATOUR or LA TOUR, each with CONDOMINIUM or CONDOMINIUMS. A record search on one spelling will miss part of the building. The most common plan dominates. The median and the lower quartile are both 1,353 sf, and two-bedrooms account for 67 of the 95 accounts.
The county nudged most values up for 2026. Of the 91 matched accounts, 61 rose, 5 held and 25 fell, for a median move of +2.9%. Eleven deeds have been recorded since July 23, 2025.

Who it suits — and the tradeoff
La Tour suits a buyer who wants an established Uptown tower with a conventional two-bedroom. Most homes on the roll are two-bedroom, two-bath plans of 1,353 to 1,971 sf, and two in three accounts are homesteaded.
The tradeoff is the building’s age and a thin starter tier. The structure dates to 1981, and two of the seven amendments came within the last seven years, so read what changed. The nine one-bedrooms are all 996 sf, so a buyer who needs a smaller or larger one-bedroom won’t find it here.
