Schools
School zone data for this area is best confirmed directly with the school district, as zones can vary by exact address and change over time.
School zones vary by address within Volusia County. Use the official Volusia County Schools school finder to confirm zoned schools for any specific property. Verify the zoned schools for any specific property using the Volusia County Schools school finder.
Flood Zone & Elevation
Waterfront sections of Holly Hill near the Halifax River should be individually verified on the FEMA flood map; inland parcels generally carry lower risk.
Internet & Utilities
Electric service across most of Volusia County is provided by FPL (Florida Power and Light). Some areas, particularly toward the western and southern edges of the county, are served by Duke Energy or Clay Electric instead.
Water and sewer come from city utilities within incorporated municipalities (City of Daytona Beach Utilities, Port Orange Utilities, and similar city providers), while unincorporated rural areas typically rely on private well and septic systems.
For internet, Spectrum is widely available countywide, with AT&T Fiber in many areas and Xfinity/Comcast in some. Provider availability varies by specific address, so it's always worth verifying before closing.
Exact providers and availability vary by address. We recommend confirming services at the specific property before purchasing.
