The corridor's reference example for the difference between postal identity, geography, and jurisdiction: a gated neighborhood off Old Fredericksburg Road near Ralph Fair Road whose Boerne mailing addresses sit on unincorporated Bexar County land outside any city limits.
Overview
Sablechase is a gated community reached off Old Fredericksburg Road in the Ralph Fair Road country, on the San Antonio side of the corridor. Property records place the subdivision in Bexar County with mailing addresses in the 78015 range, and the community sits outside Boerne city limits, which lie to the west in Kendall County. The result is a neighborhood whose homes are sold with Boerne-area identities but answer to Bexar County for appraisal, county services, and unincorporated-area government.
Tami Price's connection to Sablechase dates to the beginning of the community. She owned the first home in Sablechase and continues to have professional real estate experience there. It is the community she uses to teach the central lesson of this site: place names are postal labels, and jurisdiction is recorded in land records.
Jurisdiction Profile
The jurisdiction of a home is determined by maps, plats, and annexation records, not by the place name in a mailing address. The table at right summarizes what can be stated for the community as a whole; the boundary for any single home still has to be confirmed against the official record.

Housing Character
Sablechase is a gated neighborhood of the corridor's first home-building generation here: ranch-style and Texas stone homes set among live oaks on curving streets. Much of the inventory now trades as resale rather than as new construction, so buyers here are typically considering an existing home. Housing styles, lot sizes, and street character vary across the neighborhood; confirm the details for a specific property. The community's school association is most often reported as Boerne ISD, and as everywhere on the corridor, that must be verified address by address.
Schools
No subdivision, ZIP code, mailing address, MLS record, prior listing history, or builder brochure can guarantee a school assignment. The districts that serve this corridor (chiefly Boerne ISD and Northside ISD) draw their attendance boundaries by individual property address, and boundaries can be adjusted. Buyers should verify the specific address with the serving district before relying on any school information.
School assignment verification guideProperty Taxes
For this community, property records sit with Bexar County Appraisal District. Tax rates, exemptions, and the entities that levy them change and vary by address, so they should never be assumed from a neighbor's bill or a listing's estimate. Look up the property record by address, confirm the exemptions that apply, and verify the taxing entities that serve the tract.
