Fair Oaks Ranch is its own Hill Country city, just off Interstate 10, between San Antonio and Boerne, with homes that include neighborhood properties, golf-course settings, and larger lots that still feel close to the corridor. It is a separate place from Boerne, with its own city government, and parts of the city sit in Kendall, Bexar, and Comal counties, which matters for taxes and services.

According to the Handbook of Texas (Laurie E. Jasinski; revised September 22, 2023; accessed November 9, 2026), the community began on land assembled in the 1930s by Ralph E. Fair, Sr., later opened in sections for development, and was combined into the City of Fair Oaks Ranch on January 21, 1988. The same entry places the city about 22 miles northwest of San Antonio and about 7 miles southeast of Boerne, adjacent to Camp Bullis, and records that a tennis club was built in 1977 and that the Fair Oaks Ranch Golf and Country Club was created in 1978. Those are historical facts about amenities that exist in the community; this page does not describe membership, private-club life, or who lives here.
The City of Fair Oaks Ranch states that the city is located in Boerne Independent School District and that two BISD elementary schools, Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary and Van Raub Elementary, are currently located within the city limits. Confirm the assigned campus for a specific address with the district. This guide does not rate or rank schools.
Because the city crosses county lines, two houses in Fair Oaks Ranch can sit in different counties and different combinations of taxing units. For tax year 2026, Kendall County's published table for the City of Fair Oaks Ranch lists an adopted city rate of 0.311760 per $100 of taxable value. A property will also be taxed by its county, school district, and any other applicable units, and homestead or other exemptions change the bill. Always read the actual parcel record.
