Check at the address, not the town name

  • Check the school attendance zone and municipal permit information for the specific address; neighboring cities and shared postal descriptions do not define those boundaries.
  • 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.
