Cockrell Hill is a separate Dallas County city surrounded by Dallas. Its small footprint contains its own municipal government and public spaces, including Stevie Ray Vaughan Park, named for the musician’s local connection. Being surrounded by Dallas does not make a Cockrell Hill address subject to Dallas city administration.

### Places to know

**Stevie Ray Vaughan Park.** A city park and gathering space honoring the blues musician.

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

- Use Cockrell Hill’s city departments for a property inside its limits, and check the actual boundary when an address is described as Oak Cliff.
- 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).
