### Places to know

**Cottonwood Civic Center.** The city’s meeting location on FM 2451.

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

- Check the Cottonwood city boundary and the party responsible for the property’s road; a Scurry postal address can still be in Cottonwood.
- 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).
