Granbury ISD serves the majority of Hood County, but attendance zone assignments within the district vary by address. The Hood County Central Appraisal District (Hood CAD) database allows buyers to search any parcel and see the specific taxing entities associated with it — county, ISD, city, and any special districts. This is important because some outlying Hood County properties fall within the boundaries of Tolar ISD, Lipan ISD, or Peaster ISD rather than Granbury ISD. Verify your school district assignment at Hood CAD and confirm it directly with the relevant district's enrollment office. For school zone assignment within Granbury ISD, use the district's attendance zone map available on the Granbury ISD website and verify by address — do not assume a community's marketing materials reflect your specific lot's assignment.

Granbury city limits provide municipal water and sewer to properties within the city's service area. Outside city limits in unincorporated Hood County, the infrastructure picture is more varied. Many new construction communities in the lake corridor and rural areas of the county rely on private water supply associations, shared wells, or individual wells paired with on-site septic systems. Hood County does not operate a countywide sewer system for unincorporated areas. For buyers purchasing new construction outside Granbury — particularly in gated lake communities or rural subdivisions — confirm the specific water source, who maintains the system, and whether your home will be on a shared wastewater system or individual septic. Individual septic requires routine maintenance and pumping and should be factored into long-term ownership costs.

Lake Granbury is an impounded reservoir on the Brazos River, and most properties that touch or closely adjoin the lake have at least a portion of the lot within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. Zone AE is the most common designation — indicating a 1% annual flood probability — and flood insurance is mandatory for federally backed mortgages on properties in this zone. Even properties above the 100-year floodplain may experience stormwater runoff and shoreline erosion in heavy rain events. New construction on lakefront or lake-view lots requires an Elevation Certificate, and finished floor heights must meet Base Flood Elevation requirements. For any new construction lot near Lake Granbury or the Brazos River, request the FEMA flood zone designation for that specific parcel from your builder and verify it against Hood County's official GIS flood map before signing.
