Check at the address, not the town name

• Check seasonal splash-pad information and the current list of facilities before planning a recreation visit.
• Review the actual neighborhood’s association and any special-district obligations, and distinguish city parks from privately managed neighborhood amenities.
• School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: TEA school district locator, FEMA flood maps, county appraisal districts.
