YOUR PROPERTY BRIEF

Your showing, with better questions.

Start with what’s reported. Open a topic to see what still needs an answer for this home before you buy.

Look beyond the asking priceReported: $12,683 taxes (2026). Not reported: association fee.

Source-reported taxes: $12,683 annually · reported tax year 2026
Source-reported association fee: Association fee not reported

The listing tax figure is not a quote for your future tax bill. Verify the parcel and applicable taxing authorities.

A missing fee does not establish that there is no association.

Questions to bring

What tax assumptions should you verify for your circumstances?
Is there an association, and what current charges or assessments apply?
What written insurance, financing and closing-cost figures would complete your budget?

WHAT’S BEING BUILT NEARBY · WITHIN 800 M

Permits, plans and registered projects around the reported point.

Five public filing layers, each with its own window. A filing is a record that work was proposed or permitted; check the address and current status before connecting any of it to this home.

Construction permits · past 2 years

0 issued within 800 m, every permit type together

City of Austin sources only; permits issued by Liberty Hill are not in this source, and ZIP 78642 is mostly or entirely outside Austin.

No breakdown reported for this layer.

No permit records were returned for this radius and window. That reflects this source only.

Development projects · past 12 months

0 with activity within 800 m

Unified project: one record that Zabalist assembles from related permits, plans and registrations for the same site, with the latest stage recorded.

No breakdown reported for this layer.

No project records were returned for this radius and window. That reflects this source only.

City site plans · open or applied in the past 2 years

0 within 800 m

Site plan: the City of Austin’s development application for anything beyond a single house. It is a proposal, not an approval or completed construction.

No site-plan records were returned within this radius. City of Austin records do not replace another jurisdiction’s.

State project registrations · past 12 months

0 TDLR registrations within 800 m

TDLR project registration: a state filing required for commercial and public construction over a cost threshold. It means a project was submitted for accessibility review, not that it was built.

No registrations were returned within this radius and window. Registrations are not building permits.

Subdivision cases · applied in the past 3 years

0 within 800 m

Subdivision case: a City application to divide or re-plat land into lots. It changes lot lines on paper; it is not a building permit.

No subdivision cases were returned within this radius.

ALCOHOL LICENSES & FOOD INSPECTIONS · ZIP 78642 AND WITHIN 800 M

Licensed bars, restaurants, stores and venues, and the inspections on record.

State alcohol licenses are matched by postal ZIP because the source rarely carries coordinates. Health inspections are matched by distance from the reported point.

IN PLAIN WORDS

A state alcohol license issued to this business address in ZIP 78642 for Casey's #4758 at 717 S Highway 183 is a wine-only package store permit issued 2026-08-04.

CRASHES & CITY SERVICE REQUESTS (311) · WITHIN 800 M

Crashes and 311 requests recorded around the reported point.

Two logs kept by public agencies. They record events at locations, not how a street feels, and they are not comparable between areas with different road types.

Traffic crashes · past 3 years

0 recorded within 800 m

City of Austin sources only; crashes reported to Liberty Hill police or other agencies are not in this source, and ZIP 78642 is mostly or entirely outside Austin.

Fatal: 0
Serious injury: 0
Involving a pedestrian: 0
Involving a bicyclist: 0

Years marked “from” or “to” are only partly inside the past 3 years window, so they are not comparable with full years.

311 service requests · past 12 months

0 logged within 800 m · 0 open or in progress

City of Austin sources only; requests to Liberty Hill or county services are not in this source, and ZIP 78642 is mostly or entirely outside Austin.

FLOOD ZONE, GEOLOGY & SOILS · POINT LOOKUP

Flood zone, geology and soils at the reported point.

Three federal map services queried at the listing’s reported coordinates, which may be approximate. A point result can differ across a lot; each answer below states whether the service returned a mapped feature.

FEMA flood hazard layer

Mapped result returned

Zone X

AREA OF MINIMAL FLOOD HAZARD

Special Flood Hazard Area: no · Map 48491C

Special Flood Hazard Area: FEMA’s mapped 1%-a-year flood zone (zones A, AE, AO, V). “No” means the point is not inside one on the current map; it is not a statement about drainage or past flooding.

An exact point intersection with the effective map. A building or lot can extend across a zone boundary; check map amendments for the property.

Verify the effective map at FEMA ↗

USGS geologic unit

Mapped result returned

Alluvium

Map unit Qal · Qal_AU

Geologic unit: the rock formation mapped at regional 1:250,000 scale by the USGS. It describes the area’s geology, not the soil under a foundation.

Regional geology at 1:250,000 scale. It does not measure the soil beneath a foundation or diagnose movement; a property inspection answers a different question.

Explore the USGS source ↗

USDA soil map units

Mapped result returned

Eckrant cobbly clay, 1 to 8 percent slopes

Eckrant (85% of unit) · Drainage: Well drained · Hydrologic group D · Order: Mollisols

Drainage class: how quickly water leaves the mapped soil, from excessively drained to very poorly drained. It is a survey classification of the map unit, not a measurement at this address.

Hydrologic group (A to D): how quickly the mapped soil absorbs rain; A absorbs fastest and D slowest. It describes the survey map unit, not this yard.

Survey map units describe the dominant soils mapped across an area, not a boring at this address.
