Roads

Farm-to-Market roads cover most of rural Hunt County

Most rural roads in Hunt County are Farm-to-Market (FM) roads maintained by TxDOT, not county roads.

Texas built Farm-to-Market roads to connect farms to market towns. In Hunt County, FM roads are the primary way to reach rural properties outside Greenville and other cities. TxDOT maintains these roads, not the county.

Low-water crossings on FM roads can become impassable during heavy rain. The Sabine River forks cross several rural corridors in Hunt County. When buying rural land, check whether your property access includes a low-water crossing and how often it floods. TxDOT's DriveTexas site posts road condition information.
