Ellis County residents, take note. The Ellis County Commissioners' Court is set to review a replat application that could reshape a piece of the local landscape west of Ovilla. The proposal, focusing on the Haveron Addition, aims to split Lot 1, Block A, into two separate parcels, creating Lots 1R1 and 1R2 over a 14.420-acre site. The property in question is located approximately 2,020 feet from the intersection of East Highland Road and Westmoreland Road, situated within the outer limits of the City of Ovilla's jurisdiction.
Scheduled for January 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM, the Commissioners' Court will convene on the second floor of the historic Ellis County Courthouse at 101 West Main Street, Waxahachie, TX. The public is invited to attend or to direct inquiries by calling the Department of Development at 972-825-5200, or by reaching out via email at [email protected]. With the potential to add an extra lot to the area, interested parties are encouraged to participate or raise questions ahead of the court date. Having been published on Ellis County's official website yesterday, the information provides ample preparation time before the meeting.
For those unable to attend in person, details of the replat request are readily accessible. By visiting Ellis County's Civic Alerts page, residents can view the proposed changes. This digital transparency bridges the gap between governmental proceedings and community insight, allowing for a democratized approach to local development.
