Before you buy a lot near Annetta North with a plan in mind, check the Aledo zoning map before anything else: a district label can make or break the plan. Covered here for Aledo: who controls zoning for a given parcel, how to match a parcel to its district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
Getting started with the Aledo zoning map
Within municipal limits, the local government adopts its own zoning map, so property inside Aledo answers to that map. Outside those limits, near Weatherford or Hudson Oaks, the county may have its own zoning, or none at all; the county planning or zoning office can confirm. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: look for a city limits layer in the Parker CAD interactive map.
