Flower Mound just claimed the number one spot on Livability’s Best Places to Live in America and anyone who lives here already knew that. Grapevine Lake, 75 miles of trails, top-rated schools, and one of the lowest tax rates in North Texas. This isn’t a suburb chasing a reputation. It earned one.
Flower Mound is a town of about 79,500 on the north shore of Grapevine Lake, where golf-course communities, lakeside condos and estate lots in the Cross Timbers share town limits with new master-planned homes in the far west. The median sale price is about $643,000. Here are 8 areas with dated price context.
Redfin median about $880K
Detached homes in several sections, including the gated Reserve and Steeplechase, built mostly from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, around Bridlewood Golf Club, a public 18-hole course with 25 acres of lakes.
Redfin’s median sale price was $879,753 for the three months ending September 2026, up 10.7%, but only 11 homes sold in September. The area is in Lewisville ISD, and Clayton Downing Middle School sits on Bridlewood Blvd.
Redfin median about $730K
Established in 1995, with 2,363 detached homes at build-out across its phases and sections, according to the HOA.
The HOA runs a clubhouse, pools and playgrounds and reports no special assessments since 1995. Redfin’s median was $730,148 for the three months ending August 2026, up 3.6%. The HOA lists Lewisville ISD campuses; assignment varies by address.
Redfin median about $796K
A master-planned community of newer detached homes from several builders that straddles Flower Mound, Northlake and Argyle; the town says 626 of its acres are in Flower Mound.
Residents share about 200 acres of preserve, 10 miles of paved trails, two pools and a fitness center. Schools are Argyle ISD or Northwest ISD by address, and some addresses get water from a MUD, so check the taxing units. Redfin’s community-wide median, which includes Argyle and Northlake addresses, was $795,777.
Condos, villas & townhomes
A walkable district on the lake’s north shore with condos in Lakeside Tower and the newer Thirty-One Eleven Sunset high-rise, plus villas and townhomes.
Residents are steps from the boardwalk, Sunset Point overlook and amphitheater, with access to the Northshore Trail. Sales are too few for a reliable median, so ask for recent comparables, and check any lot near the lake for the Corps flowage easement.
Apartments & residences
A mixed-use district built around a tree-lined waterway, with apartments such as Bexley River Walk and RW Flats and a property owners association.
Restaurants opened along the water starting in 2021, and the Sunday farmers market moved here in 2024. Prices for the area’s homes weren’t confirmed, so ask for recent sales.
Estate lots
Estate lots and large homes near the Tour 18 golf course, which opened in 1995. Conservatory Estates, approved in 2016, is a cluster subdivision within the Cross Timbers district.
Current prices weren’t verified, and the school district may be Lewisville or Argyle ISD by parcel. Town records show gas well pads in the area, so review the plat and seller’s disclosure.
Acreage & estate lots
A town policy area that preserves the Cross Timbers landscape, with a maximum of one home per two acres.
Since 2022, conservation developments may use lots as small as 0.75 acre if at least 25% are an acre or more and 45% of the land stays open space. The Master Plan doesn’t provide town sewer here, so ask about septic systems.
Ask for current comparables
The town’s southern edge along Wichita Trail reaches Grapevine Lake, where the 243-acre Twin Coves Park has cabins, a campground and a boat ramp.
Lots near the lake may sit within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flowage easement, generally at or below 572 feet, where building needs Corps permission. Check the plat and survey for any address.
Swipe or drag sideways to see them all.
Redfin’s median sale price was $642,694 for the three months ending September 2026, up 3.7%, at $231 a square foot.
Homes took a median 37 days and sold at 98.4% of list; 44.2% of listings cut their price.
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 estimate puts the median owner-occupied home value at $560,200, a different measure from recent sale prices.
About 82.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Parts of Flower Mound have existing natural gas wells regulated by the town’s oil and gas ordinance, first adopted in 2003.
Lots near Grapevine Lake may be subject to a Corps flowage easement. Review the plat, title commitment and seller’s disclosure.
Most of Flower Mound is in Lewisville ISD or Argyle ISD, with Denton, Grapevine-Colleyville and Northwest ISDs in small areas.

The Town of Flower Mound, mostly in Denton County with a small portion in Tarrant County, counted 75,956 residents in the 2020 Census, and the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025, estimate is 79,540; the town publishes a higher figure from a different source. Areas are described by community names and general locations from the town, HOAs, developers and listings; boundaries are approximate, and a Flower Mound mailing address doesn’t mean a home is inside town limits. Prices are dated snapshots, not values: town and neighborhood medians are Redfin’s, on small samples, and Canyon Falls figures include Argyle and Northlake addresses. Build eras for Bridlewood come from brokerage accounts and vary by source. Wellington details are from its HOA; Canyon Falls details are from the town and developer, and its acreage differs between them. Cross Timbers district rules are from the town’s 2022 update. MUD, PID and HOA dues weren’t confirmed for any community. No age-restricted community was confirmed. Gas well and flowage easement notes are disclosures, not value judgments. School districts are listed at the district level only; district and campus must be confirmed by address. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.

From a Wildflower Mound and Peters Colony Farms to SMARTGrowth and a Town of About 79,500
A never-plowed, dome-shaped prairie hill covered in wildflowers gave the town its name.
The Flower Mound rises about 50 feet above the surrounding prairie, roughly 650 feet above sea level, on about 12.5 acres at Flower Mound Road and FM 2499. The Flower Mound Foundation says it formed in the Cretaceous Period and has never been plowed, leaving a remnant of native tallgrass Blackland Prairie where more than 175 wildflower species have been identified over the years.
The state marker says Wichita people lived in the area before Anglo settlers arrived, and tradition holds that Native people treated the mound as a holy place. Local legend adds that nothing was ever built on top and no tree ever grew there. In 1983 a citizens’ group bought the site and placed it in a permanent conservancy, and the state approved it as a historic site in 1984.
Peters Colony settlers farmed Long Prairie, and in 1854 a new congregation took the name Flower Mound.
Settlers arrived in the 1840s on Peters Colony land grants, drawn by soil suited to cotton, corn and wheat, and Denton County was formed in 1846. In 1844 John R. Wizwell was granted 640 acres that included the mound; the land later passed to George L. Beavers, whose relatives held it well into the 20th century. The area around the future church was first known as Long Prairie.
In 1854, Rev. Matthew B. Donald, a Tennessee farmer and preacher, organized Flower Mound Presbyterian Church, which its state marker calls the first Presbyterian church in Denton County. Donald set aside ten acres for a church, campground and cemetery. The congregation built a log church in 1857 and 1858, and the present frame building dates to 1901. The Gibson-Grant Log House followed in 1861.
Through Reconstruction, the Depression and two world wars, Flower Mound stayed a farming community built around a school, a store and its churches.
The Handbook of Texas says Flower Mound kept a steady population into the 1940s as a substantial farming and cattle-raising community. Donald Academy opened in 1877 and grew into the largest rural school in Denton County, teaching grades one through ten. In the Bethel area, a one-room school opened around 1871, and Bethel Presbyterian Church was organized in 1883 by settlers who had arrived in the 1850s.
Yoakley’s Store opened in 1880 with a cotton gin, blacksmith shop and post office, and it lasted until the Great Depression. In 1914 the New Donald School opened on the west side of FM 2499, about three-quarters of a mile north of the mound. The community’s schools later joined Lewisville ISD, which still serves most of the town today, alongside Argyle ISD in the west.
Two federal reservoirs, Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake, reshaped the land and drew new residents.
The Rivers and Harbors Act of 1945 authorized Grapevine Lake and changes to Garza Dam for what became Lewisville Lake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began the Grapevine Dam in January 1948, acquiring about 15,700 acres plus easements on about 2,200 more. The dam was finished in June 1952, and impoundment began July 3, 1952. In 1950 an old cemetery was moved to Flower Mound Cemetery because of the project.
Work on the Garza-Little Elm Dam also began in 1948, and impoundment began November 1, 1954, creating the reservoir later renamed Lewisville Lake. The Handbook says the lakes drove growth in the mid-1950s by attracting workers who preferred to live outside central Dallas. Today the town-run Twin Coves Park, reopened in 2017 after major renovations, sits on Grapevine Lake’s north shore with cabins and a campground.
Residents voted to incorporate in 1961, then hosted a federally backed new town that failed by 1976.
Residents voted 105 to 1 on February 25, 1961, at Flower Mound Presbyterian Church to incorporate, and the county approved it two days later. The town says the goal was to avoid annexation by the City of Irving. Bob Rheudasil served as the first mayor until 1968. The town counted an estimated 275 residents in 1966, and the 1970 Census found 1,685.
Flower Mound was one of 13 communities chosen under the federal New Communities program, with $18 million in loan guarantees. Developers planned four villages on 6,156 acres along the lake for as many as 70,000 people. Construction began in 1972, but original residents fought proposed tax increases, a lead developer sold out in 1974, and HUD foreclosed in September 1976. The project, by then about 100 homes, was renamed Timber Creek.
Flower Mound grew from 4,402 residents in 1980 to 50,702 in 2000.
After New Town collapsed, growth came anyway. Timber Creek Elementary opened in 1978 as the first Lewisville ISD school in Flower Mound, and Marcus High School opened in 1981 as the town’s first high school. The town adopted its first Master Plan on November 22, 1982, and the Flower Mound Public Library opened in 1985. The 1980 Census counted 4,402 residents, and the 1990 count reached 15,527.
The 1990s brought the steepest climb. The town says Flower Mound ranked among the nation’s ten fastest-growing communities that decade, rising about 227 percent to 50,702 residents in 2000. New subdivisions spread across former farms and prairie, and the town launched its own cable channel in 1993. In 1999 it adopted a new land use plan to steer where and how the rest of that growth would happen.
A managed-growth program and new districts shaped the town’s second wave.
On January 11, 1999, the town adopted SMARTGrowth, short for Strategically Managed and Responsible Town Growth, after a moratorium on new master-planned residential development. Its management plan followed on February 17, 2000, with 29 criteria covering infrastructure, facilities, services, economic development, environmental quality and community character. Master Plan 2001 was adopted in March 2001, and Bakersfield Park broke ground in 2003.
The Community Activity Center opened in 2008, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound opened in 2010, and the town turned 50 in 2011. In 2013, River Walk at Central Park, Canyon Falls and Lakeside DFW all broke ground. In 2015 the town found the 1861 Gibson-Grant cabin inside a house slated for demolition and bought the property, and the new Town Hall opened in 2018.
A 2025 bond, a restored log house and an arts center in design mark the town’s seventh decade.
The 2020 Census counted 75,956 residents, and the Census Bureau’s July 2025 estimate is 79,540. The library expansion was completed in 2020, the same year construction began at Lakeside Village. In 2021 the town turned 60, Fire Station No. 7 opened, and the restored Gibson-Grant Log House opened to visitors. It received its Recorded Texas Historic Landmark marker in June 2025.
On May 3, 2025, voters approved $112 million in bonds, $82 million for parks, trails and the Community Activity Center and $30 million for streets; the town says its last bond to pass was in 2002. In 2024 the town bought 3.67 acres in the River Walk for an arts center, now in design with a target opening in spring 2029, a projection that could change.
Compiled from the Town of Flower Mound’s history timeline, SMARTGrowth and Master Plan pages; the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas (Flower Mound and Lewisville Lake entries); Texas Historical Commission marker texts as recorded in the Atlas and the Historical Marker Database; Flower Mound Presbyterian Church’s history; the Flower Mound Foundation; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Texas Water Development Board; Community Impact; the Cross Timbers Gazette; Star Local Media; and the U.S. Census Bureau. Population figures are total counts. Native American traditions about the mound and related local stories are presented as legend. The town gives only the year of incorporation; the vote was February 25, 1961, and county approval came February 27. The town’s own timeline dates Grapevine Lake’s construction differently; Corps of Engineers dates are used. Sources differ on when Donald Academy closed and joined Lewisville ISD, so no closing year is given. Census counts for 1990 and 2000 differ slightly by source; the Handbook’s figures are used.

Median Sales Price
What Flower Mound homes actually sold for each month. With established neighborhoods like Wellington, large-lot homes in the Cross Timbers area, lake-area homes and newer master-planned communities like Canyon Falls all trading in one town, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Flower Mound’s median moves with which homes sold. Redfin’s three-month median ending September 2026 was about $642,700, up about 3.7 percent from a year earlier, at about $231 a square foot. Read the trend, not one month.
A 1990s home in Wellington, a large-lot home in the Cross Timbers area and a newer Canyon Falls home can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your neighborhood, size, age, lot, HOA and school district.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, and confirm by address which of Flower Mound’s school districts serves the home and whether it sits in a special district.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. Redfin reported a median of about 37 days in September 2026, with homes selling at about 98.4 percent of list and about 20 percent going above list. Well-priced homes still move.
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.
About 44 percent of listings cut their price. Those are the homes where you have room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. Watch for reductions and be ready to move when the right one adjusts.
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 about 259 sales in September 2026, enough for a reliable trend, but a month heavy with large-lot or luxury closings can still move the median.
Your competition includes nearby Highland Village, Lewisville, Argyle and Grapevine, plus newer homes in Canyon Falls and other master-planned communities. Price against true comparables in your neighborhood and have your repair, permit and HOA records ready.
Inventory runs from established neighborhoods to large lots and newer master-planned homes. Confirm the school district, any HOA, the tax bill and the Town’s lot and development rules by address early, because they affect your plans and 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. Flower Mound lies mostly in Denton County with a small Tarrant County portion, it is served by Lewisville, Argyle, Denton and Grapevine-Colleyville ISDs, and ZIP codes 75022, 75028 and 76226 also cover neighboring towns, so MLS city fields may not match town limits. Communities such as Canyon Falls include addresses in Argyle and Northlake. The median, price per square foot, days on market, sale-to-list, above-list share, price-drop share and September sales count are Redfin’s figures for the three months ending September 2026 or for September 2026. These charts do not separate school districts, lot sizes, or new and older construction. 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 that holds nearly all of Flower Mound. A home bought in 2012 is worth about two and a half times its price on the index, with the biggest jump between 2020 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 2021 to 2025 the Denton County index rose about 28 percent, but it slipped about 0.9 percent in 2025, its first annual decline in years.
Treat recent equity growth as flat to modest, not rising.
Redfin’s Flower Mound median sale price was about $643,000 for the three months ending September 2026, up 3.7 percent, though price per square foot fell 1.3 percent.
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 median owner-occupied value is $560,200, a different measure.
Owners who bought before 2021 carry large gains on the county index; buyers from 2022 on have built equity mostly by paying down the loan.
About 44 percent of listings cut their price in September, so price from true comparables.
On a $640,000 Lewisville ISD homestead, the 2026 bill runs roughly $8,530 a year by our estimate, about 1.33 percent of value; in Argyle ISD, about $8,920.
The town grants a 20 percent homestead exemption and $150,000 for owners 65 and older or disabled.
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 232.58 in 2021, 282.30 in 2022, 293.84 in 2023, 299.85 in 2024 and 297.21 in 2025 in the vintage updated March 31, 2026; earlier years are from the same series as retrieved for a prior widget. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. No Flower Mound-specific index was used; a small part of Flower Mound lies in Tarrant County. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Denton County index to a $640,000 anchor near Redfin’s Flower Mound median sale price for the three months ending September 2026. 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; the October 22, 2026, Freddie Mac 30-year average was 7.32 percent, up from 6.19 percent a year earlier. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. The tax example uses 2026 adopted rates: Town of Flower Mound 0.387277, Lewisville ISD 1.0778 and Denton County 0.183394, which together match the town’s published combined rate of 1.648471. It assumes a $640,000 homestead for an owner under 65 with no appraisal cap benefit, the state’s $140,000 school exemption, the town’s 20 percent homestead exemption and a 1 percent county homestead exemption; the county exemption wasn’t confirmed for this widget. It comes to about $8,534, or about $8,924 with Argyle ISD’s 1.1558 rate, an illustration, not a quote; confirm with the Denton Central Appraisal District. MUD and PID charges, which may apply in some areas, weren’t confirmed and aren’t included. Tarrant County parcels pay Tarrant County rates instead. Over-65 exemptions and tax ceilings would lower the bill. 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.

Flower Mound is a town of about 79,500 (Census estimate, July 2025) between Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake, mostly in Denton County. The trade-offs are real: no local transit, existing gas wells in parts of town, five school districts by address and lake easements near the shore.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Flower Mound Town Hall
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from Town Hall at 2121 Cross Timbers Rd. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
The town kept its rate at $0.387277 per $100 for FY2026–27 and grants a 20 percent homestead exemption, the state maximum, plus $150,000 for owners 65 and older or disabled.
On the town’s own example, its share is under a quarter of the bill.
The town counts 58 parks, more than 1,000 acres of parkland, 67 miles of trails and 37 playgrounds.
Voters approved $82 million for parks, trails and the Community Activity Center in 2025.
Grapevine Lake forms the southern border, where the town runs Twin Coves Park, and Lewisville Lake lies to the north.
Lakeside Village puts restaurants and condos on the Grapevine Lake shore.
The town runs seven fire stations and its own ambulance service. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound offers 24-hour emergency services.
Water is bought from regional suppliers; Republic Services collects trash weekly.
The Community Activity Center is set to nearly double in size, with construction slated for late 2027 and completion targeted for the end of 2029. A permanent Fire Station 6 is underway near Canyon Falls.
On November 3, voters decide whether to renew a quarter-cent street maintenance sales tax.
Flower Mound isn’t a DCTA member, so there’s no local transit; the nearest A-train stations are in Lewisville. Parts of town sit over the Barnett Shale with existing gas wells, and lake-area lots may carry a Corps flowage easement.
The east side is nearly built out.
Drive times are planning estimates from Flower Mound Town Hall based on general route geography, not measured or live traffic; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush hour on FM 2499, FM 1171, I-35E and I-35W can add 15 to 30 minutes or more. The population figure is the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025, estimate (79,540); the 2020 Census counted 75,956, and town pages publish other figures from other sources. Tax, parks, fire, utility, bond and election details are from the Town of Flower Mound; the CAC timeline is a town target. The Fire Station 6 opening timing is from news reports. Hospital emergency hours are from Texas Health Resources. Transit membership is from DCTA. Electric, gas and internet providers vary by address. School districts are listed at the district level only. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made. This information is provided for general reference and is not a representation about any specific property, commute or future development outcome.

Answered with verified specifics, from the $0.387277 town rate, water setup and Republic pickup to gas wells, the lake easement, SMARTGrowth and the November 3 sales tax vote.
Not necessarily. ZIPs 75022 and 75028 are Flower Mound mailing ZIPs, but 76226 and 76262 also cover neighboring towns, and some Flower Mound ZIPs reach into nearby cities. The town itself sits in both Denton and Tarrant counties.
The reliable check is the list of taxing units on the parcel’s Denton Central Appraisal District record, or the Tarrant Appraisal District record for the small Tarrant County portion. The town’s GIS maps also show town limits.
Town limits decide your property tax, water service, trash pickup, library eligibility and which ordinances apply, and the county decides your appraisal district and polling place, so confirm both before you write an offer.
The town’s rate for FY2026–27 is $0.387277 per $100 of value, unchanged from the year before. It was adopted September 21, 2026, and took effect October 1.
For homesteads, the town grants an exemption equal to the greater of $5,000 or 20 percent of value, which it notes is the state maximum, and owners 65 and older or disabled receive an additional $150,000 exemption.
County and school district rates are added on top. On the town’s own example for a Lewisville ISD address in Denton County, the combined rate is about $1.648 per $100, and the town’s share is under a quarter of the bill.
Apply in person at Town Hall, 2121 Cross Timbers Rd., online through 2TurnitOn, which takes about three business days, or by emailing the application and a government ID to the utility billing office.
The town’s activation page lists a $60 deposit and a $15 service fee, billed to the account, and says the deposit can be waived with a letter of credit from a prior provider. An older town application lists different amounts, so confirm by phone at 972-874-6010.
The utility billing counter is open weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The town provides water and, where available, wastewater service, so ask whether the home is on town sewer or a septic system.
The town buys treated water from two regional suppliers: the Upper Trinity Regional Water District and Dallas Water Utilities. The town then distributes it and provides wastewater service where lines are available.
New water and sewer rates took effect October 1, 2026, and the town says wholesale charges from those suppliers make up about 61 percent of its utility fund budget, so rate changes often follow supplier costs.
The town publishes an annual drinking water quality report. Because supply depends on regional reservoirs, drought stages can tighten watering rules, so check the town’s water conservation page before you plant new landscaping or reseed a lawn.
Republic Services collects garbage, recycling and bulk items once a week, using 95-gallon carts, under a new contract that took effect October 1, 2026. The town bills the service on your utility bill.
Carts should be at the curb by 7 a.m. During seasonal green waste periods, the first from November 30 to December 11, 2026, green waste is collected for recycling and bulk trash isn’t picked up.
Special pickups can be scheduled with Republic at 817-317-2000 for $45 an hour. Ask the seller which day the street’s trash goes out, and check the town’s page for holiday changes.
Under the town’s long-term water conservation plan, even-numbered addresses water on Tuesday and Friday, and odd-numbered addresses on Wednesday and Saturday. HOA common areas and nonresidential properties water Monday and Thursday.
No sprinkler watering is allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on any day. Hand watering and drip irrigation are allowed at any time.
Stricter stages of the town’s emergency water demand plan can apply during drought or supply problems. After closing, reset the irrigation controller to your assigned days, and check whether the system has a rain or freeze sensor.
Yes, if you live in Denton County. The library issues cards free, in person, to any Denton County resident with a photo ID and proof of address. The library charges no late fees.
Nonresident cards are available to people who work or attend school in Flower Mound or are temporarily living in Denton County. Whether residents of the town’s small Tarrant County portion qualify on the same terms wasn’t confirmed, so ask at the desk.
Voters approved a 24-hour self-service library center in west Flower Mound as part of the 2025 bond. Bring a utility bill or lease to the library when you apply.
Part of Flower Mound sits over the Barnett Shale, and the town regulates drilling by ordinance, first adopted in 2003 and amended in 2005, 2007 and 2011. The town publishes a Gas Well Status Report listing well sites.
Operators proposing a new drill site must notify the public within 1,500 feet, and water wells within 1,500 feet of a gas well must be sampled before and after drilling. Salt water disposal wells aren’t allowed, and setback variances go to an Oil and Gas Board of Appeals.
Check the status report and the seller’s disclosure for nearby sites, and ask your title company about any recorded mineral interests.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers holds perpetual flowage easements on private land near Grapevine Lake, generally below the 572-foot contour above mean sea level. The easement lets the Corps flood that land when the lake rises.
Fill and structures inside the easement need prior written approval from the Corps, in addition to town permits, and that can limit pools, additions and outbuildings on a lakeside lot.
Ask for a survey that shows the 572-foot line, review the title commitment, and check with the Corps’ Grapevine Lake real estate office before you plan work. The town notes that a Corps permit may also be needed for work near the lake.
In the central Cross Timbers Conservation Development District, gross density is limited to one home per two acres. Developers can use two-acre lots or a conservation design that clusters homes on smaller lots and preserves open space.
Under the 2022 update, conservation developments may use lots as small as 0.75 acre, provided at least a quarter of the lots are an acre or more and at least 45 percent of the land stays open space.
The town’s Master Plan doesn’t provide town sewer to the district, so ask how a home handles wastewater, such as a septic system, and include an inspection in your option period.
SMARTGrowth, short for Strategically Managed and Responsible Town Growth, was adopted in 1999 and is built into the town’s development code. Its management plan followed in 2000.
It evaluates whether new development can be supported by adequate public infrastructure, such as streets, water, sewer and traffic capacity, along with facilities, services, environmental quality and community character, using 29 criteria in six categories.
For buyers, it helps explain why parts of Flower Mound still have large lots and open space, and why new subdivisions can take longer to win approval than in some neighboring cities.
No town ban on short-term rentals was found. Since November 2023, operators must register through the town’s online portal and remit the town’s 7 percent hotel occupancy tax on stays.
Many neighborhoods have HOA covenants that limit or prohibit short-term rentals, and those private rules can be stricter than the town’s. Read the deed restrictions before you buy if rental income is part of your plan.
Because rules can change, confirm the current ordinance and registration steps with the town, and check whether a property’s zoning or a PID affects use. State hotel tax may also apply on top of the town’s share.
No. The Fire Marshal’s Office says personal fireworks are not allowed within the Town of Flower Mound. Commercial displays need a permit.
News reports say violations can bring fines of up to $2,000 and that sparklers are prohibited too; confirm those details in the town code. The rule covers the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve.
For the holiday, the town’s free Independence Fest at Bakersfield Park ends with a public fireworks show. Rules outside town limits can differ, which is another reason to confirm whether an address is inside Flower Mound.
No permit is required. Sales may last up to three days, and each household may hold two sales a year.
Signs must go on private property only, may go up no more than 24 hours before the sale, and must come down within 24 hours after it ends. Keep signs off utility poles, medians and public rights-of-way.
HOAs may set additional limits, so check your neighborhood’s rules. If you’re moving, schedule the sale early, and consider donation pickups or Republic Services’ bulk collection for what doesn’t sell.
The town operates outdoor warning sirens designed to alert people who are outdoors; they aren’t meant to be heard inside homes. The town says the sirens are silently tested every day.
Residents can sign up for town notifications at flowermound.gov/notifyme. Pair that with your phone’s emergency alerts and a weather radio, since sirens are only one layer of warning.
The number of sirens and any audible test schedule weren’t confirmed for this answer. New residents should pick an interior shelter room before spring storm season, and keep shoes, a flashlight and a charged phone there.
Permit status and expiration dates can be looked up online through the town’s eTRAKiT portal. Some homeowner projects, such as additions, pools, fences and electrical work, may require a permit.
Before you buy, ask the seller for permits on major improvements, and look up the address in the portal to confirm they were finaled. Unpermitted work can complicate insurance and resale.
For new projects, check with Building Inspections about requirements, and remember that HOA approval and, near Grapevine Lake, Corps of Engineers approval may also be needed. Contractors generally pull permits, but confirm before work starts.
Many Flower Mound neighborhoods have HOAs, and the town notes that where HOA rules and town rules differ, the more restrictive rule generally controls. Ask for the HOA’s recorded documents, dues and any transfer fees.
For MUDs and PIDs, check the taxing units and assessments on the appraisal district record and the title commitment. Some master-planned areas near Canyon Falls receive water from a MUD, so confirm by parcel.
Texas sellers in a MUD must give a notice to purchaser before closing. Build HOA dues and any district tax or assessment into your monthly payment estimate.
Council members are elected at large to three-year terms, under a charter amendment approved November 8, 2016. General elections are usually held on the first Saturday in May.
On November 3, 2026, voters decide whether to reauthorize the town’s quarter-cent street maintenance sales tax. The town says that if it’s reauthorized, the 8.25 percent sales tax rate won’t increase.
Because the town spans Denton and Tarrant counties, polling places depend on your address. Register to vote at your Flower Mound address after you move, and check the town’s election page for results once they’re canvassed.
Not from inside town. Flower Mound isn’t a DCTA member city, and no town-run transit service was found. DCTA’s on-demand GoZone service launched with zones in Denton and Lewisville and Highland Village.
The nearest rail access is the DCTA A-train in Lewisville, at the Highland Village/Lewisville Lake, Old Town and Hebron stations, depending on where you live. Onward connections to DFW Airport weren’t confirmed for this answer.
In practice, most residents drive or take a rideshare to the airport, which is the simplest option for early flights. Check DCTA and DART schedules before you plan a car-free trip, since connections and transfer times vary.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound, at 4400 Long Prairie Road, offers 24-hour emergency services. It opened in 2010.
Nearby options include Medical City Lewisville and its freestanding Medical City ER Cross Timbers in Lewisville, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Grapevine, each listing round-the-clock emergency care.
Call 911 for emergencies; the town’s fire department provides ambulance service from seven stations. For minor illnesses, urgent care usually costs less than an emergency visit, so check which hospitals and clinics are in your insurance network before you need one.
Answers were verified as of October 28, 2026, from the Town of Flower Mound and its tax, utility activation, water conservation, solid waste, library, gas well, Grapevine Lake, Cross Timbers, SMARTGrowth, short-term rental, fire marshal, garage sale, siren, building, HOA and election pages; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; DCTA; Texas Health Resources; Medical City Healthcare; Baylor Scott & White; Community Impact; and the Cross Timbers Gazette. Rates, fees, schedules and providers change; verify anything you intend to rely on. The water deposit differs between town pages, so confirm by phone. Fireworks fines are from news reports. The siren count and test schedule, onward transit to DFW Airport and library eligibility for Tarrant County residents weren’t confirmed. The November 3 election result was pending when this was written. Drive times are estimates. Population counts cover the incorporated town only.

Flower Mound, a town of 75,956 at the 2020 Census and about 79,540 by the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate, sits between Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake, mostly in Denton County. It’s known for parks, golf-course neighborhoods and estate lots in the Cross Timbers, but gas wells, lake easements and five school districts shape what a home really costs here. I sort out the details that matter, and the awkward parts are named.
ZIPs 76226 and 76262 also cover Argyle, Bartonville, Northlake and Trophy Club, and the town spans Denton and Tarrant counties. Five school districts serve town addresses. I confirm the town, county and school district on the appraisal record before we compare homes.
The town’s rate is $0.387277, unchanged, and Denton County cut to $0.183394. With Lewisville ISD, the combined rate is $1.648471 per $100 before exemptions, matching the town’s own figure. With Argyle ISD it’s $1.726471, and with GCISD $1.439271. I build the estimate from the parcel record.
Redfin’s Flower Mound median sale price was $642,694 for the three months ending September 2026, up 3.7%, while price per square foot slipped 1.3% to $231. 259 homes sold in September, up from 254. I price from true comparables, not a headline.
Homes took a median 37 days, four more than a year earlier, and sold at 98.4% of list. Only 20.4% sold above list, while 44.2% of listings cut their price. For buyers, that’s leverage. For sellers, pricing right at launch matters most. I set the price to sell in the first weeks.
Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32% on October 22, 2026. On a $640,000 home with 20% down, a $512,000 loan runs about $3,517 a month in principal and interest, under the $832,750 conforming limit. The median price sits above HUD’s $563,500 FHA limit for Denton County. I line up the right lender early.
Gas well operators must notify neighbors within 1,500 feet of a new drill site. Near Grapevine Lake, building below the 572-foot contour needs Corps approval. Central Flower Mound allows one home per two acres. Short-term rentals must register and pay a 7% hotel tax. Personal fireworks are banned, and voters decide a street maintenance sales tax renewal November 3.
Flower Mound has real trade-offs: no local transit, existing gas wells in parts of town, a Corps flowage easement by the lake, five school districts with different rates, MUDs or PIDs in some areas, a nearly built-out east side and 44% of listings cutting price. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm the town, county and school district on the appraisal record, not the ZIP code. Second, check the town’s gas well report for sites near the home. Third, near the lake, find the 572-foot line on the survey. Fourth, ask about MUDs, PIDs and HOA dues. Fifth, start water service at least three business days ahead. And sixth, file your homestead with the Denton Central Appraisal District.
Flower Mound-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32% on October 22, 2026, and the 15-year was 6.68%; each quarter-point move changes the payment on a $512,000 loan by about $85 a month. Typical Flower Mound prices sit above HUD’s $563,500 FHA limit for Denton County but under the $832,750 conforming limit with a solid down payment. Make sure the correct county, school district and any MUD or PID are in the payment estimate. 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 whether it’s inside Flower Mound, which county and school district it’s in, whether gas wells or the lake easement are nearby and which taxing units apply.
