Real estate agents in Canyon Lake

The county says it experiences its share of flooding issues; its Floodplain Administrator issues development permits ($40 application fee). Septic systems need an OSSF permit before construction or non-emergency repair, so ask the seller for the permit records and have the system inspected.

A driveway or landscaping change in the county road right-of-way needs a PIPROW permit, and inside the Camp Bullis Dark Skies Zone outdoor lighting needs a permit too. Property is appraised by the Comal Appraisal District, where homestead exemptions are filed, generally before May 1. Confirm tax and contract questions with a licensed broker or tax adviser.

Look up any agent selling around the lake on TREC's License Holder Lookup, which shows whether the license is active, any discipline and the sponsoring broker. Since January 1, 2026, a buyer's agent must sign a written agreement with you before showing a home, and commissions are negotiable. At your first substantive conversation about a property, the agent must give you the Information About Brokerage Services notice. See the Texas real estate guide and the Canyon Lake hub.
