Check at the address, not the town name

  • Check county land records and service providers for the exact parcel; a county seat can be unincorporated and does not necessarily have city permitting.
  • 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.
