Septic Systems - Some homes in the Highland Lakes Area may be on a septic system. These systems require a sales inspection as well as licensing.
Short-Term Rentals - Many properties on the lake have ordinances or restrictions prohibiting short-term rentals.
Pass-Through Lakes - Lakes LBJ, Inks and Marble Falls are all pass-through lakes. These lakes maintain a relatively constant level, except during flooding events. Some parts of the lakes are more prone to flooding than others.
