Aubrey is a city in Denton County along US 377 and US 380. It counted 5,006 residents in the 2020 census; the Census Bureau estimated 9,066 for July 1, 2025, and the police department cites a higher in-city figure. Area names follow developer and subdivision names, and boundaries are approximate. An Aubrey mailing address doesn’t establish the city, county jurisdiction, school district or special district; Union Park is in the Town of Little Elm, and Sandbrock Ranch, Savannah and ArrowBrooke are outside Aubrey city limits. City-limits, school district and special-district status for Silverado, Winn Ridge, Ribbonwood and Highpointe Ranch weren’t fully confirmed; confirm everything by address with Denton CAD. Price figures are dated 2026 snapshots from builder pricing, MLS feeds, Zillow, Redfin and listing sites; they are context, not values. HOA dues are from builder, developer and listing sites and some are dated. Sandbrock Ranch’s MUD rate is $0.935 in the community FAQ and $1.00 in a community blog post. Union Park’s combined rate is the developer’s figure; a third-party site cites about 2.71 percent. Elm Ridge WCID’s $0.88 rate is from the district’s September 2025 recap. The City of Aubrey’s last confirmed rate is $0.450 for tax year 2025; 2026 city and Aubrey ISD rates weren’t confirmed. Builder marketing language isn’t repeated here.

From a Name Drawn From a Hat to a Fast-Growing City of About 9,000
Aubrey sits in the Cross Timbers, a belt of oak woodland and sandy soil near the Elm Fork of the Trinity River.
Long before streets and subdivisions, the land around Aubrey belonged to the Cross Timbers, a belt of post oak and blackjack woodland that crosses North Texas. Sandy soils and scattered creeks shaped what could grow here and who could travel through. The Elm Fork of the Trinity River, west of today’s town, carried water south toward Dallas and later became the site of a major reservoir.
Pioneer accounts describe plenty of land, fertile soil and water, alongside a dense forest that had to be cleared before farming could begin. That light, sandy ground would later suit peanuts, and later still, horse pastures. Native peoples lived in and moved through the wider North Texas region for centuries before Anglo-American settlement began in the 1840s and the land was opened to farming.
Settlers arrived in the 1840s, and the Key Schoolhouse of 1858 is remembered as the area’s first recorded structure.
Settlers began arriving in the 1840s, drawn by open land, good soil and water. In 1858 Dr. George T. Key moved his family from Missouri and built log cabins near the future town site, and one cabin served as both a school and a church. The Key Schoolhouse is remembered as the area’s first recorded structure, and several of its pupils grew up to help shape the town.
Religion traveled on horseback in these years. The Rev. William Edmunds Bates, a Methodist minister who reached Texas in 1851, settled in Denton County and rode a 300-square-mile circuit around Dallas. Rural congregations met under trees and brush arbors before they had buildings. The Key Schoolhouse settlement sat about a mile from where Aubrey’s downtown would later grow, around the depot and Main Street.
L. N. Edwards built in 1867, the Texas and Pacific arrived in 1881, and residents drew the name Aubrey from a hat.
Aubrey counts 1867 as its founding year, when Lemual Noah Edwards, a Civil War veteran from Alabama, raised a two-story house from lumber hauled overland from Jefferson. The turning point came in 1881, when the Texas and Pacific Railway built a section house at a spot called Onega. Residents disliked that name, so they put new names in a hat. “Aubrey” was drawn, and it stuck.
The new post office first operated in the railroad depot. Fire shaped the town early: in 1887 the first businesses, east of the tracks, burned, and Aubrey rebuilt on the west side, partly on land Edwards donated. He also gave each of his ten children a homesite as a wedding gift. Churches followed, including the First Christian Church, organized in October 1894, which still has a state marker.
A busy railroad main street grew up, the town incorporated by 1924, and Prohibition earned it a colorful nickname.
By the early 1900s, downtown Aubrey was crowded with dry goods stores, cafes, garages, drugstores, blacksmiths, a meat market, a national bank, a newspaper and the Mullins Hotel for train crews. Formal city government came later. The Texas Municipal League lists 1924 as the incorporation year, and in 1938 the town adopted the state’s general-law framework under Title 28 of the Revised Civil Statutes.
Aubrey also had a livelier reputation. The town was legally wet from 1894 to 1902, and during Prohibition and the Depression it became known as “Fruit Jar Junction,” a coded name for a last stop to buy moonshine. A 1918 tornado damaged nearly every house, and fires struck downtown in 1909, 1923 and 1927. Each time, residents rebuilt along the tracks.
Cotton ruled until the 1930s; then the boll weevil and the Depression pushed farmers toward peanuts.
For its first half-century, Aubrey ran on cotton. Nearly every family kept a patch, three gins processed the harvest, and by 1920 the town had more than thirty businesses and about 700 residents. Then hard times came at once. The boll weevil damaged crops, automobiles drew trade to bigger towns, and the Great Depression squeezed farm incomes, so the population fell in the years that followed.
Aubrey’s sandy soil offered a way out: peanuts. As cotton prices fell, peanuts became the leading cash crop, and harvest turned into a community effort, with neighbors moving from field to field to help one another. Starting in October 1923, an annual Community Fair downtown let farmers show off their produce, and it continued for many years as a fixture of the farm calendar.
The peanut dryer rose beside the tracks, and Aubrey ISD formed in 1966, while the town stayed under 1,000 people.
After the war, Aubrey stayed a small farm town organized around peanuts and the railroad. A fire in 1948 was the last of a long string of downtown blazes, and the business district settled for good on the west side of the tracks. A three-story peanut dryer, believed to date from the 1960s, rose beside the rail line and still dominates the downtown skyline.
Local schooling took its modern form in 1966, when the Aubrey Independent School District was formed; for roughly two decades it operated out of a single building. Growth stayed slow, and Aubrey counted 948 residents in 1980. Still, the region was changing as Dallas–Fort Worth expanded and reservoir plans on the Elm Fork reshaped the land north and south of town.
The Peanut Festival began in the mid-1980s, horse ranches spread across the sandy pastures, and Ray Roberts Dam was finished nearby.
By the 1980s, peanuts had fully replaced cotton, and the local drying plant handled an average of about 3,000 tons a year. The sandy pastures and mild climate drew a growing number of horse ranchers, and barns and arenas joined the peanut fields. The Handbook of Texas notes that some were calling the area Texas’s “horse capital,” and the county history office describes it as “Horse Country USA.”
Aubrey’s signature tradition began in the mid-1980s, when the town launched the Peanut Festival to honor its farmers. On June 30, 1987, the Army Corps of Engineers completed the main Ray Roberts Dam on the Elm Fork nearby; the lake had been planned under the name Aubrey before it was renamed in 1980. By 1990, Aubrey’s population had reached 1,138, still a small town on the rail line.
Planned communities filled the farmland along US 380, and Aubrey grew from 1,500 to 2,595 residents in a decade.
The 2000s brought master-planned neighborhoods to the farmland along US 380. Providence Village began as a planned community in 2000 and incorporated as its own town in 2010. Nearby, Savannah, Artesia and ArrowBrooke were built under a special water district in unincorporated Denton County. Many use Aubrey mailing addresses or are zoned to Aubrey ISD, but most lie outside Aubrey’s city limits.
Aubrey itself went from 1,500 residents in 2000 to 2,595 at the 2010 census. The school district added a high school campus in 1998 and new intermediate and elementary buildings in the 2000s. Residents moved to preserve local memory: the Aubrey Historical Society formed in 2010, published a town history in 2012 and opened the Aubrey Area Museum on Main Street.
The 2020 census counted 5,006, and the Census Bureau estimated 9,066 by 2025, with a widened US 380 and a new Kroger.
Since 2020, Aubrey has grown faster than at any point in its history. The 2020 census counted 5,006 residents, and the Census Bureau estimated 9,066 by July 2025, about 84 percent more in five years. Voters adopted the city’s first home rule charter in 2022, and the city has invested in its downtown park, a new sports complex and an upgraded wastewater treatment plant.
Growth is most visible along US 380, where a $135.9 million TxDOT project added lanes and overpasses, and where a Kroger Marketplace opened in July 2026 at an Aubrey address. Aubrey ISD has nearly doubled its enrollment since 2021, and voters approved a 2022 bond for new elementary and middle schools as the district plans for about 8,900 students by the early 2030s.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas, the Denton County Office of History and Culture (drawing on the Aubrey Historical Society’s 2012 town history), the Historical Marker Database, the City of Aubrey’s Code of Ordinances and charter pages, the Texas Municipal League directory, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Ray Roberts Lake Master Plan, Clio, Elm Ridge WCID, the Town of Providence Village, Aubrey ISD, TxDOT, Kroger coverage in Chron and CultureMap, and U.S. Census counts. The 1924 incorporation year is from the Texas Municipal League directory and wasn’t confirmed in a primary record; no source supported 1912. The Handbook dates Ray Roberts Dam to 1986; the Corps of Engineers gives June 30, 1987. Secondary sources date the Peanut Festival to 1986; the City’s edition numbers point to 1987. The “horse capital” label is attributed, not established, and no source confirmed a “Peanut Capital of Texas” title. The peanut dryer’s 1960s date is described as a belief in the source. Some school milestones come from secondary sources. Providence Village, Savannah, Artesia and ArrowBrooke are largely outside city limits, and Kroger describes its US 380 store as its Little Elm store. The 2025 figure is a Census Bureau estimate.

What Aubrey-area homes actually sold for each month. With homes in Old Town and horse country, Silverado and Winn Ridge resales, and new builder closings in Sandbrock Ranch and Savannah all trading under one ZIP code, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Aubrey’s median moves with which homes sold: Old Town homes, resales or new master-plan builds. Redfin’s three-month median ending August 2026 was about $294,800, down about 8.9 percent from a year earlier. Read the trend, not one month.
An Old Town home, a Silverado resale and a new Sandbrock Ranch build in a MUD can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your size, age, lot, condition and school district.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, plus whether the address is in city limits, a MUD or a water district, and in Aubrey ISD or Denton ISD.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. Redfin reported a median of about 58 days to sell in the three months ending August 2026, with about 49.5 percent of listings cutting price. There’s room to negotiate.
The first two weeks bring the most traffic a listing will ever get. If they pass without an offer, that is pricing information. Acting in week three beats acting in week ten.
When homes sit longer, there’s usually room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. A listing that has waited a while is usually where the negotiating room is, and builders often compete with rate buydowns and closing-cost help; ask what’s on the table.
Under 10 showings means buyers are deciding quickly. Rising counts mean people are walking through and walking away, which is a different problem from nobody looking at all.
This separates a pricing problem from a presentation problem. Plenty of showings and no offer usually means something specific is putting people off, and that is fixable without dropping the price.
High showings-to-pending means you can be selective without losing homes. Read it against days on market: low on both is a hot market, high on both means the leverage is yours.
Check how many homes closed before you read anything into the price or days-on-market charts. Redfin counted 95 sales in August 2026, up about 91 percent from a year earlier. A month heavy with closings in one master plan can move the median more than the market did.
Your competition includes builders in newer communities such as Sandbrock Ranch and Silverado, many offering rate buydowns, plus resales in Little Elm, Cross Roads and Pilot Point. Price against true comparables and have your permit and repair records ready.
Inventory runs from Old Town homes and horse property to new construction. Confirm city limits, any MUD or water district, the school district and the full tax bill early, because they affect your monthly cost more than the price chart does.
Charts supplied by NTREIS via 10K Research and Marketing and update automatically. Data reflects residential activity reported to the MLS and may be revised as late-reported sales come in. The 76227 ZIP code covers Aubrey along with Cross Roads, Krugerville, Little Elm, Providence Village and Savannah, and communities such as Sandbrock Ranch and Savannah lie outside city limits, so MLS city fields may not match the city boundary. The median, days on market, price-drop share and August sales count are Redfin’s figures through August 2026, and some may cover the wider 76227 area. These charts do not separate new construction or resale, homes in and out of a MUD or water district, or the Aubrey ISD and Denton ISD parts of the area. Market statistics describe the area as a whole and are not a substitute for a comparative market analysis on a specific property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so publicly available sale prices elsewhere are estimates rather than recorded figures.

Pick a purchase year and the price fills in. If you own here, type over it with what you actually paid. This calculator runs on the Denton County index, the federal repeat-sales measure for the county Aubrey sits in. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump in 2021 and 2022 and a slight dip in 2025.
Bought here? Tap the number and enter what you paid.
Federal house price index growth, indexed to the purchase year, where the purchase year equals 100.
From 2015 to 2025 the Denton County index rose about 101 percent, with a 21 percent jump in 2022 alone.
It slipped about 0.9 percent in 2025, its first annual decline since 2011; a 2022 buyer is about even on the index.
Zillow’s typical value for Aubrey was about $349,600 in June 2026, down 7.6 percent from a year earlier.
Redfin’s three-month median sale price was lower, near $295,000. Type over the prefilled price with what you paid.
Outside the city, a MUD or water district rate near $0.88 to $0.90 adds about $3,100 a year on a $350,000 home.
That’s why a Sandbrock Ranch or Savannah home pays more than one in town, even with Denton ISD’s lower school rate.
A $350,000 homestead pays about $4,730 a year inside Aubrey with Aubrey ISD, about $6,204 in Sandbrock Ranch and about $6,134 in Savannah or ArrowBrooke.
Owners 65 and older pay about $790 to $870 less in their first year, before ceilings take hold.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Denton County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48121A, base 2000 equals 100), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Denton County series recorded 148.00 in 2015, 282.30 in 2022, 299.85 in 2024 and 297.21 in 2025. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. No city-specific index was used, and no Aubrey 2015 median sale price was found. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Denton County index to a $350,000 anchor near Zillow’s June 2026 typical value for Aubrey ($349,612). Redfin’s three-month median sale price through August 2026 was $294,805 with 58 median days on market; typical value and median sale price are different measures. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. Equity figures assume a 30-year fixed mortgage at that year’s Freddie Mac annual average rate (2025 approximately 6.6 percent), held to today, with no refinancing, no extra principal and no additional borrowing. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. Tax examples use an illustrative $350,000 appraised homestead and 2026 rates from the Denton County Tax Office: City of Aubrey 0.45 with no general homestead exemption and Aubrey ISD 1.2011; or Denton County MUD No. 6 0.90 or Elm Ridge WCID 0.88 with Denton ISD 1.1528; plus Denton County 0.183394 after a $5,000 minimum homestead exemption. School figures apply the $140,000 exemption. The 65-and-older examples add the schools’ $60,000, the city’s $10,000 and Denton County’s $55,000; ceilings then freeze those amounts. City and county exemption amounts come from an older schedule and weren’t confirmed for 2026, and whether a Denton County emergency services district rate applies wasn’t confirmed; one could add about $210 to $350 a year. HOA dues and any PID assessment are extra. It is an illustration, not a quote. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year and ends on sale. This is an illustration for general reference, not an appraisal, a comparative market analysis, a valuation or investment advice. Past appreciation does not predict future appreciation.

Aubrey is a Denton County city of 5,006 at the 2020 census and about 9,066 by the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate, with a typical value near $350,000. The trade-offs are real: many Aubrey addresses sit outside the city in a MUD or water district, there’s no transit, and the nearest full hospitals are in Denton, Celina and Frisco.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Aubrey City Hall
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from City Hall at 107 S. Main St. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
Denton County marked the $160.6 million US 380 project complete in June 2026: six lanes, a raised median and five new overpasses from Loop 288 to the Collin County line.
NTTA lists the Dallas North Tollway’s extension to FM 428 in Celina for late 2027.
Baylor Scott & White Emergency Hospital–Aubrey is open 24 hours on US 380.
A 123,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace opened July 31, 2026, with about 200 jobs, per Kroger.
Ray Roberts Lake State Park’s Isle du Bois and Johnson Branch units sit north of town.
Ranches and acreage surround the city, and the Peanut Festival is a downtown tradition now in its 40th year.
The Census Bureau estimates Aubrey grew about 84 percent from 2020 to 2025, and the city has projected about 16,000 residents by 2030.
The Aubrey 2045 comprehensive plan is in the works.
Outside the city, a MUD or water district adds about $0.88 to $0.90 per $100, roughly $3,100 a year on a $350,000 home.
City water starts at a $40.37 monthly base with a $125 deposit.
There’s no DCTA service in Aubrey; the A-train is a drive away in Denton.
Water, trash, police and school district all change with the address, so confirm each one before you buy.
Drive times are planning estimates from Aubrey City Hall, not live traffic or measured routes; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush-hour times on US 380, US 377 and I-35E can run much longer. Population figures are the 2020 census count and the Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 estimate; the 16,000 projection is from a 2023 city document. The typical value is Zillow’s June 2026 figure. The US 380 cost and completion are from Denton County; earlier reports cite $135.9 million for the eastern contract alone. Tollway timing is from NTTA. Kroger details are from Kroger as reported by CultureMap; another outlet cites 220 jobs, and Kroger describes the store as its Little Elm location. Utility rates are from City of Aubrey Ordinance 948-26. District rates are 2026 rates from the Denton County Tax Office: Denton County MUD No. 6 $0.90 and Elm Ridge WCID $0.88. Transit coverage is from DCTA. The fire department’s ISO class, electric and internet providers and emergency services district boundaries weren’t confirmed. Flood zones vary by parcel; check FEMA maps by address. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made.

Answered with verified specifics, from city limits, MUDs, water and taxes to trash days, US 380, emergencies, flood maps and voting.
Not necessarily. The 76227 ZIP code reaches well beyond city limits, into the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, Denton County MUD No. 6 at Sandbrock Ranch, the Elm Ridge Water Control and Improvement District at Savannah and ArrowBrooke, and nearby towns such as Krugerville and Little Elm.
The fastest check is your Denton CAD record or tax bill. If “City of Aubrey” isn’t listed among the taxing units, the home isn’t in the city. The city also posts a boundary and ETJ map on its Mapping page.
The answer changes your tax bill, water provider, trash service, police response and often your school district, so confirm it before you compare homes.
A municipal utility district or water control district is a special taxing district that builds and maintains water, sewer, drainage and roads outside city limits. Sandbrock Ranch says its MUD tax takes the place of a city tax, and Elm Ridge says it functions much like a city, with its own fire, police and trash contracts.
For 2026, the Denton County Tax Office lists Denton County MUD No. 6 at $0.90 per $100, down from $0.935, and Elm Ridge WCID at $0.88. On a $350,000 home, either adds roughly $3,100 a year.
Elm Ridge also adds trash and fire fees to water bills. Read the seller’s district notice before you sign.
It depends on the district. Using 2026 rates on an illustrative $350,000 homestead, a home inside the city in Aubrey ISD pays about $4,730 a year: city $0.45, Aubrey ISD $1.2011 and Denton County $0.183394 per $100.
In Sandbrock Ranch, with MUD No. 6 and Denton ISD, the same home pays about $6,204. In Savannah or ArrowBrooke, with Elm Ridge WCID and Denton ISD, it pays about $6,134. Owners 65 and older pay roughly $790 to $870 less in the first year.
These figures apply the $140,000 school exemption. Check every taxing unit on the appraisal record, and add HOA dues or any PID assessment.
Aubrey ISD, at 415 Tisdell Ln., serves the town of Aubrey, Krugerville and parts of Cross Roads, Providence Village and Little Elm. It earned a C in TEA’s 2026 ratings, and its 2026 tax rate is $1.2011.
Denton ISD serves Sandbrock Ranch, Union Park, Savannah, ArrowBrooke and Winn Ridge despite their Aubrey addresses. It earned a C (76) in 2026, and its 2026 rate is $1.1528. Artesia, also in Elm Ridge, is in Prosper ISD.
The school district is listed on the tax bill. Confirm the campus with the district’s school finder, since zones shift as new schools open.
Inside the city, apply with the City of Aubrey: email the residential application, then call 940-440-9343, option 1, to pay the $125 deposit and $20 application fee. Allow 48 hours. Bills are due on the 5th, and after-hours water emergencies go to 940-220-1018.
Mustang SUD, 7985 FM 2931, 940-440-9561, serves Winn Ridge, Sandbrock Ranch, Savannah and ArrowBrooke, with a $100 water deposit and a $50 sewer deposit. It also bills the city’s trash service in Winn Ridge and Sandbrock Ranch.
In the Elm Ridge district, call 469-899-5335; the City of Celina handles water for Artesia.
Under Ordinance 948-26, adopted in February 2026, in-city residential water carries a $40.37 monthly base for a standard meter, including the first 1,500 gallons. Usage above that is billed in tiers starting at $7.12 per 1,000 gallons.
In-city residential sewer is $35.89 for up to 1,500 gallons. The residential deposit is $125, plus a nonrefundable $20 application fee, and a discounted senior rate is available.
Republic Services trash is billed separately; the city’s rate sheet lists curbside trash at $13.26 a month and trash with recycling at $19.30, but the sheet is undated. Homes on Mustang SUD or in Elm Ridge pay those providers’ rates instead.
Republic Services collects for the City of Aubrey. A January 2026 city notice set pickup days by neighborhood: Monday for Winn Ridge, Tuesday for Sandbrock Ranch, Wednesday for downtown areas such as Aubrey Creek Estates, High Meadow, Keeneland and HighPointe Ranch, Thursday for Silverado West and Friday for Aspen Meadows and Silverado East.
Sandbrock Ranch and Winn Ridge trash is billed through Mustang SUD. The Elm Ridge district contracts its own trash service for Savannah, Artesia and ArrowBrooke and adds the fee to water bills.
The city’s rate sheet lists special bulk rates. Ask the city or your district for current bulk pickup days.
File with Denton CAD, 3911 Morse St., Denton, 940-349-3800. You must own the home and live in it as your primary residence on January 1, and the usual deadline is April 30 of that tax year. New buyers file their own application; the seller’s exemption doesn’t carry over.
Late filings are generally accepted up to a year after the delinquency date. School districts exempt $140,000, plus $60,000 for owners 65 or older or disabled, with a school tax ceiling.
Once approved, the homestead appraisal cap limits taxable value increases to 10 percent a year. MUDs and water districts generally don’t offer the same exemptions, so confirm the deadline and documents on Denton CAD’s site.
Yes, in Denton County. The county marked the $160.6 million project complete at a June 22, 2026, ribbon-cutting. It widened US 380 to six lanes with a raised median, turn lanes and pedestrian improvements from Loop 288 to the Collin County line.
It added five overpasses, at FM 720 and Oak Grove, Navo Road and Union Park, FM 423 and Gee Road, Teel Parkway and Legacy Drive. Earlier reports cited $135.9 million for the eastern contract alone.
East in Collin County, a separate $390 million project to turn US 380 into an eight-lane freeway near McKinney is registered for 2026 to 2028, so drivers heading east should still expect work.
The Tollway currently ends at First Street in Prosper, about a mile north of US 380, roughly a 25-minute drive from downtown Aubrey off-peak by our estimate.
NTTA’s Phase 4A extends it about 6 miles north to FM 428 in Celina, with three lanes each way, and NTTA lists the opening as late 2027. NTTA put the projected cost at $460 million. Phase 4B, to the Grayson County line, has no date.
For Aubrey drivers headed to Frisco, Plano or Dallas, the extension mainly adds another access point to the north. Tolls run 22 cents a mile with a TollTag and double by mail.
Not locally. DCTA’s GoZone on-demand service covers Denton, Lewisville and Highland Village, plus a Frisco pilot, and no Aubrey zone was found. Fares there start at $1.50, with a surcharge on longer Denton trips.
The closest rail is DCTA’s A-train, a 21-mile commuter line from downtown Denton to Dallas County that connects to DART. Most Aubrey residents drive to the Denton station.
For most trips, plan on driving: US 380 runs east toward Little Elm, Prosper and McKinney and west to Denton, and US 377 runs north toward Pilot Point and south toward I-35E. DCTA customer service is 940-243-0077.
For a medical emergency, call 911. Baylor Scott & White Emergency Hospital–Aubrey, 26791 US 380 E., Suite 100, is open 24 hours, 972-347-2525. CareNow Crossroads on US 380 is urgent care only, not an ER.
The nearest full hospitals are Medical City Denton, 3535 S. I-35E, 940-384-3535; Texas Health Presbyterian Denton, 3000 N. I-35, 940-898-7000; Methodist Celina Medical Center, 1500 S. Dallas Pkwy., which opened in March 2025; and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Frisco.
Drive times vary by where you live and the time of day, so map the route to each before you need it.
Often, but it depends on three layers. Inside the city, zoning controls animals and lot sizes; check the City of Aubrey’s code on eCode360 and its zoning map for the parcel. In unincorporated areas, county rules apply instead.
In master-planned communities such as Sandbrock Ranch or Savannah, HOA deed restrictions usually limit or prohibit livestock regardless of zoning, so read the dedicatory instruments before you buy.
Ranch and acreage land around Aubrey may carry an agricultural valuation through Denton CAD. A buyer who changes the use can face a rollback tax, so ask the seller for the appraisal history. The city’s specific animal rules weren’t confirmed for this guide.
Inside the city, permits go through Aubrey Development Services at City Hall, 107 S. Main St., 940-440-9343. City Hall is open Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Friday until 11:30 a.m.
In unincorporated areas and the ETJ, Denton County development services generally handles building rules, and a district such as Elm Ridge may add its own requirements.
In any HOA community, expect architectural approval for fences, pools, patio covers and sheds, often before a permit. Specific permit fees and thresholds weren’t confirmed for this guide, so ask the right office for your address before you hire a contractor.
Call 911 in any emergency. Inside the city, Aubrey Police are at 108 E. Elm St.; the non-emergency line is 940-365-2601, and after hours calls go to 940-349-1600, option 1.
In unincorporated areas, the Denton County Sheriff’s Office, 127 N. Woodrow Ln., Denton, 940-349-1600, generally responds. The Elm Ridge district has its own police department for Savannah, Artesia and ArrowBrooke, with administration at 469-481-6433.
The Aubrey Fire Department is at 200 W. Sycamore St., 940-365-9785. Which fire department or emergency services district covers each unincorporated area wasn’t confirmed, so check the tax bill for an ESD line.
Flood risk is parcel by parcel. Enter the address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center to see whether the home or lot falls in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and ask the city or Denton County about local floodplain maps.
Creeks such as Little Elm Creek, east of town near Sandbrock Ranch, and drainage toward the Elm Fork run through the area, and greenbelts along them are often kept open for drainage. Homes backing to a creek deserve the closest look.
Lenders require flood insurance for federally backed loans on structures in a mapped high-risk zone. Even outside one, coverage is available, so get a quote during your option period.
Fast. The census counted 2,595 residents in 2010 and 5,006 in 2020, and the Census Bureau estimated 9,066 for July 1, 2025, about 84 percent more than the 2020 base, on about 3 square miles of land.
A 2023 city document projected about 16,000 residents by 2030, and the downtown development district projects more than 29,000 in the city’s ETJ by 2029. Many more people live in Aubrey-address communities outside city limits.
The city is preparing the Aubrey 2045 comprehensive plan to guide zoning. Aubrey ISD has more than doubled its enrollment since 2016, and US 380 now has six lanes and five new overpasses.
Aubrey is in Denton County, so voting runs through Denton County Elections, 701 Kimberly Dr., Suite A100, Denton, 940-349-3200. For the November 3, 2026, election, registration closed October 5, and early voting runs October 19 to 30.
During early voting, you can vote at any Denton County early-voting site. Recent elections used Aubrey First Rock Fellowship, 201 N. Cherry St.; Celina Fire Station No. 3, 4400 FM 1385; and the Copeland Government Center in Cross Roads. Check the county’s November list before you go.
Mail-ballot applications must arrive by October 23. Bring an approved photo ID.
Close. Ray Roberts Lake State Park has two main units north of town. The Isle du Bois Unit, 100 PW 4137, Pilot Point, 940-686-2148, is on the southeast shore off FM 455, roughly a 20-minute drive by our estimate.
The Johnson Branch Unit, 100 PW 4153, Valley View, 940-637-2294, is on the north shore and a longer drive. Both are run by Texas Parks and Wildlife, with entry fees and campsites.
The Army Corps of Engineers completed the main dam on the Elm Fork in 1987; the lake was originally planned under the name Aubrey. Lewisville Lake lies to the south for more boating access. Check park hours and fees before you go.
The Aubrey Area Library is at 226 Countryside Dr., 940-365-9162. It was founded in 1985, and its current building opened June 12, 2006.
The North Texas Library Consortium lists hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Other listings show different Friday and Saturday hours, so call before you go.
The library is part of the North Texas Library Consortium catalog. Downtown, the Aubrey Area Museum on South Main Street, opened by the Aubrey Historical Society, covers the town’s railroad, peanut and horse-country history. Check its hours before a visit.
Answers were verified as of October 7, 2026, from the City of Aubrey, the Denton County Tax Office, Denton CAD, Denton County Elections, the Denton County Sheriff, Mustang SUD, Elm Ridge WCID, Sandbrock Ranch, TxDOT and Denton County project releases, the North Texas Tollway Authority, DCTA, Texas Parks and Wildlife, the hospitals and the U.S. Census Bureau. Rates, fees, providers and hours change; verify anything you intend to rely on. Tax figures use 2026 rates from the Denton County Tax Office on an illustrative $350,000 homestead with the $140,000 school exemption and a $5,000 county minimum exemption; they are illustrations, not quotes. The homestead deadline is from secondary sources; confirm with Denton CAD. Drive times are estimates. Animal, permit, floodplain and fire coverage rules weren’t fully confirmed, and the November 2026 early-voting site list wasn’t posted when this was compiled; the sites named were used in earlier elections.

msc.fema.govLinks, phone numbers and addresses verified October 2026 against the City of Aubrey (utility billing, trash, emergency management, development services, police, fire marshal, court, code compliance, animal control and library pages), the Aubrey MDD, the Aubrey 380 Area Chamber, Mustang SUD, Elm Ridge WCID, Denton CAD, Denton County and Denton County Elections, and subject to change; if something has moved, tell me and I will correct it. An Aubrey address can be inside the city, in its ETJ, in a MUD or water district or in a neighboring town, and each changes the tax bill, water provider, trash service and police agency, so check the appraisal record before you buy. Fire Station 1 is listed at 200 and 220 Sycamore St. by different sources. The permits office’s walk-in location changed in August 2026 and wasn’t confirmed. Denton CAD’s hours vary by listing, and one county directory lists the Cross Roads tax office at 940-349-3510. The Justice of the Peace precinct varies by address. Gas service may be CoServ or Atmos depending on the address. The ER, hospital, school district, NTTA, DCTA, state park and help-line contacts were carried from earlier verification or the brief and weren’t rechecked in this pass. Denton County Animal Services, the county clerk and other community groups aren’t listed because their contacts weren’t verified.

Aubrey counted 5,006 residents at the 2020 census and about 9,066 by the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate. Its name was drawn from a hat in 1881, it was once known as “Fruit Jar Junction,” and the city calls the area “Horse Country USA.” Today two homes on the same ZIP code can have different cities, districts, water providers and tax bills. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
The 76227 ZIP code covers the City of Aubrey, its ETJ, MUD No. 6 at Sandbrock Ranch, the Elm Ridge district at Savannah and ArrowBrooke, and parts of nearby towns. Each changes the tax bill, the water provider, the trash service and who answers a police call. I check the appraisal record on every address.
In 2026, MUD No. 6 charges $0.90 per $100 and Elm Ridge WCID $0.88, about $3,100 a year on a $350,000 home. That’s twice the city’s $0.45 and far more than the gap between school districts. I read the district notice with you before you sign.
On a $350,000 homestead, a home inside Aubrey with Aubrey ISD pays about $4,730 a year at 2026 rates. In Sandbrock Ranch it’s about $6,204, and in Savannah or ArrowBrooke about $6,134. Owners 65 and older pay less. I model your real bill.
Inside the city, water runs through the City of Aubrey with a $125 deposit. Mustang SUD serves Winn Ridge, Sandbrock Ranch, Savannah and ArrowBrooke with $100 water and $50 sewer deposits, and Elm Ridge handles its own district services. I confirm the provider and get recent bills.
US 380 is now six lanes with five new overpasses, and the Dallas North Tollway reaches FM 428 in Celina in late 2027. There’s no DCTA service in Aubrey, so plan on driving to Denton, Prosper or Frisco. I map your commute before you choose an area.
Redfin’s three-month median sale price for the Aubrey area was about $294,800 through August 2026, down 8.9 percent, at about $165 a square foot. Homes sold in a median 58 days, and about half had a price drop. I price to recent comps and negotiate every concession.
Aubrey has real trade-offs: district taxes on top of school and county taxes, no transit, the nearest full hospitals in Denton, Celina and Frisco, and years of growth and construction around town. Builder incentives can hide a higher base price. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm city limits, the district and the school district on the appraisal record. Second, order the HOA resale certificate right away. Third, identify the water provider and ask for recent bills. Fourth, check for PIDs or a water district on the tax certificate. Fifth, check the parcel on the FEMA flood map and read the seller’s flood disclosure. And sixth, map your commute to work and school before your option period ends.
Aubrey-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.28 percent on October 1, 2026. With Aubrey-area prices near $295,000 to $350,000, many buyers fit under the FHA and conforming limits, so compare FHA, conventional and down payment assistance options. Make sure the payment estimate uses the right district’s tax rates, including any MUD or water district, plus HOA dues and the $140,000 school homestead exemption. I recommend these lenders based on their expertise and service. I do not receive compensation for referrals.
Either is fine. I answer my own phone, and you will never be routed to a call center or handed to a junior agent. Send me an address and I will tell you which county it’s in, whether it’s inside city limits or a MUD, who supplies the water and power, what the HOA charges, which school district serves it, what the full tax bill looks like and what’s planned nearby.
