Before you buy a lot near Copperas Cove with a plan in mind, check the McGregor zoning map early: a district label decides setbacks, lot size and uses. In this McGregor guide: which office sets the rules for a lot, how to match a parcel to its district, and when a variance or rezoning comes up.
The McGregor zoning map: start here
Within municipal limits, the town or city normally writes the zoning code, so a lot in McGregor follows that code. For rural land toward Evant, county rules apply where they exist; confirm with the county office. To find out which side of the line a parcel is on: look for a city limits layer in the Coryell County ArcGIS parcel map.
Where the parcel data lives
Property in and around Copperas Cove appear on the Coryell County ArcGIS parcel map, a viewer that needs no account. Closer to Oglesby, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Around Copperas Cove, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near South Mountain go to the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Evant need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Calling planning staff
When you call about land near Copperas Cove, give the parcel number and your intended use; ask what's allowed by right and what needs a permit. Also ask whether the lot near Oglesby is a legal lot of record, since some older splits don't.
Before you lean on the lines
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Copperas Cove. Out toward South Mountain, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Getting your bearings
Gatesville is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Oglesby, South Mountain, and Copperas Cove, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 84,878 people call Coryell County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on about 1,052 square miles. In and around Copperas Cove, Coryell County was formed in 1854, so old deeds can run back a long way.
On site with the map

Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around South Mountain sit with the County Clerk. In and around Evant, have ready the book and page shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.

How to look up the district
Pull the parcel up on the Coryell County ArcGIS parcel map, copy its parcel ID, and match it to the adopted zoning map. For land near Gatesville, district codes like R-1, C-2 or A-1 aren't self-explanatory, so read the ordinance chapter for each; the letters vary from place to place.
