My address is “Granbury.” Does that mean I live in the Granbury city limits?

Communications & News Releases Posted on January 15, 2026

Having a Granbury mailing address or ZIP code does not always mean a property is located within the City of Granbury city limits. ZIP codes and mailing addresses are assigned by the U.S. Postal Service and often extend beyond city boundaries into non-city areas of Hood County.


The four easiest ways to determine if you live within Granbury city limits:

1) Use the City’s Interactive Map

Go to www.granbury.org

Hover over “Residents”  Under “Services,” click “Interactive Maps”

Click “here” in the sentence: “To access the City of Granbury GIS Web Tool click here”  A map will appear showing areas inside city limits shaded in green

Enter your address in the “Find address or place” box in the upper-left corner

Press Enter

If your address is within the green shaded area, you live inside the Granbury city limits

2) Review your trash and utility services

If your residential trash is picked up curbside weekly by Waste Connections and the service is included on your City of Granbury utility bill, this is a strong indicator you live within the city limits.

3) Check your property tax statement

If your property is inside city limits, your tax bill typically lists the City of Granbury as a taxing entity. Properties outside city limits will not include a city tax. You can review your property tax information at: https://hoodcad.net/

4) Contact the City for confirmation

Email pio@granbury.org with the address in question, and City staff can help confirm whether the property is located within the Granbury city limits.
