Civic · Argyle / Northlake ETJs
How Harvest is governed, who represents you, and how to connect — plus reviewed updates from offices. Not a campaign free-for-all.
Resident explainer
Harvest is not one simple “city” box. Taxes, water bills, schools, and town rules can differ by street — always verify with your address.
Basics
Extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) means you live near a town but are usually not inside town limits. You typically do not pay that town’s city property tax, and many day-to-day services (water districts, fire ESD, county) work differently than for in-town residents.
Harvest is largely unincorporated Denton County in the ETJs of Argyle and Northlake. Confirm which ETJ (if any) applies to your lot — maps and mailing addresses don’t always match.
Geography
Neighbors commonly describe a rough pattern (lot-level verify — builders and plats can differ):
Address gate: A mailing address that says “Argyle, TX 76226” does not by itself mean you are in Argyle town limits, Argyle ISD, or Belmont FWSD 2. Check school finders, tax statements, and water bills for your property.
Schools
Harvest is split between two school districts:
Do not assume every Harvest address is Northwest ISD.
