Frequently Asked Questions

What should I check before buying lake property in Freestone County?

Check the flood zone, shoreline and dock rules from the lake authority, the septic system, the survey and any HOA rules. Water levels and slope of the lot also matter.

Can I build or replace a dock on any lakefront lot?

Not always. Docks usually need a permit from the agency that manages the lake, and rules differ by lake. Confirm what is allowed before you buy.

Is flood insurance required for lake homes?

It is usually required if the home is in a FEMA flood zone and you have a mortgage. Even when it is not required, many lake owners carry it.
