Hurricane Creek Estates is a subdivision within Collin County that exists outside of the City of Anna's corporate limits, but within the City of Anna's ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction). According to state law, our neighborhood cannot be annexed by the City without consent of property owners and the City themselves. Our situation is uncommon but not unprecedented in the State of Texas. This presents some unusual circumstances for us, for example:
We are subject to certain restrictions by the City but are unable to vote in city elections.
We do not pay city property taxes, but are provided fire & EMS service by the city.
Our roads are maintained by Collin County, but all roads leading to our neighborhood are maintained by the City of Anna.
For a complete overview of what government services are provided to us and contact information for those officials, please see the Community Contacts page.
Texas has a deregulated electric market, therefore you must select your electric provider. The State of Texas provides the following website to assist in searching for a plan: powertochoose.org/
All electric lines in the neighborhood are serviced by Oncor: www.oncor.com
Water is provided by the City of Anna. Please contact the city to establish water service & for information/issues with water.

Since we are not in the city limit, there is no city/county trash pickup (CARDS provides trash service for Anna, and does offer trash service outside of the city limit, but it is not automatic/part of water service). Various private companies provide trash pickup service.
