Where Beeville fits in
Beeville is part of Bee County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Beeville is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. Local government in Beeville handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Normanna often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Zones on the Beeville flood zone map
On ground around Blue Berry Hill, zones beginning with A or V mark the Special Flood Hazard Area, meaning a 1% or greater chance of flooding each year. Out toward Blue Berry Hill, minimal risk is not no risk: according to FEMA, floods happen outside mapped zones too.
