Heartland is an unincorporated Kaufman County community near Forney, developed as a planned residential area. Its central lake, trails, and community recreation facilities are operated within the development rather than forming a separate municipal park system. The community association is an important source for daily services and access rules.

### Places to know

**Community lake and trails.** The development’s lake, paths, and recreation facilities are subject to community access rules.

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

- Obtain the current association documents and confirm amenity access, assessments, and utility districts for the particular lot; a Forney-area mailing address does not establish city services.
- 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).
