Lake LBJ

Yes. Like Lake Austin, Lake LBJ holds a consistent level year round, which is a major draw for buyers who want a dock that works every month of the year.

Lake LBJ spans Burnet and Llano counties, formed by the Alvin Wirtz Dam, as one of the Texas Highland Lakes. It sits well northwest of Austin.

Kingsland, Horseshoe Bay, and Granite Shoals are the main communities on the lake. Horseshoe Bay in particular carries resort-style waterfront development.

Several districts hold territory on Lake LBJ. Llano ISD covers the Llano County side including Kingsland and Sunrise Beach, and Marble Falls ISD covers the Burnet County side including Granite Shoals. There is also a Marble Falls ISD pocket at Horseshoe Bay South, on what is otherwise the Llano ISD side, which is exactly the kind of carve-out that makes a shore-based answer unreliable. District boundaries here do not follow the shoreline, so the answer depends on the exact address rather than which side of the water it sits on. Check a specific property with the Texas School District Locator and the county appraisal district. We do not publish campus attendance zones at all.

Yes. Docks, boat lifts, bulkheads, retaining walls, and dredging all require permits on LCRA-managed lakes. An existing structure is not proof of a permit, and an unpermitted improvement becomes the buyer’s problem at closing.
