Venus spans Johnson and Ellis counties. The city publishes separate maps for zoning and the central business area, making it possible to distinguish the downtown district from the wider municipal footprint. The county line remains important when locating appraisal, deed and other property-specific public records.

### Places to know

**Venus central business area.** The city publishes a dedicated downtown map alongside its zoning resources.

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

- Use the city’s zoning and boundary information for the actual parcel.
- Identify the parcel’s county before retrieving taxes, deeds or county development records.
- 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).
