Lipan is in northwestern Hood County at the junction of FM 4 and FM 1189\. The townsite was laid out in 1873 where older roads connected Weatherford, Stephenville, Granbury and Palo Pinto. That crossroads history provides a more useful sense of location than describing Lipan as part of the continuous Dallas–Fort Worth suburbs.

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

- Confirm the lot’s town-boundary status before identifying the office responsible for improvements.
- For surrounding acreage, check recorded access, water arrangements and wastewater systems at the parcel level.
- 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).
