River Oaks is an incorporated Tarrant County city on the western side of the Fort Worth area. Its own city hall and municipal departments serve a compact community distinct from Fort Worth. River Oaks in Tarrant County should also be distinguished from the Houston neighborhood of the same name when looking up government and property information.

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

- Include Tarrant County when searching River Oaks property records.
- Confirm city limits and municipal utility information before applying Fort Worth requirements to an address.
- 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).
