Willis, Texas property tax rate (2025)
The City of Willis adopted a property tax rate of 0.552% of assessed value for tax year 2025 — the 2nd-highest of the 15 taxing cities in Montgomery County. The city line is only one layer: a Willis address also pays the county rate, a school district rate, and any special district that contains the parcel.

What the city rate costs on $300,000
The Willis city levy alone on a $300,000 assessed value is $1,655 a year. Stacked with the rates every parcel in the county pays, the running total before the school district line is:
| Taxing unit | Rate | On $300,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Montgomery County | 0.377% | $1,131 |
| Lone Star College System | 0.106% | $318 |
| Montgomery County Hospital District | 0.047% | $142 |
| City of Willis | 0.552% | $1,655 |
| Partial stack | 1.082% | $3,246 |
Add the school district rate — the largest single line on most Texas bills — from the school district table, and any special district rate that applies to the parcel. Figures exclude exemptions.
Where the city levy goes
0.470% of the rate funds maintenance and operations; 0.082% services voter-approved debt.
Special districts listing Willis
6 special districts list Willis as their city in the Comptroller's district database, reporting $30,184,268 of principal outstanding between them: 4 municipal utility districts, 1 emergency services district, 1 water control and improvement district. The city field records the district's own filing, so treat this as a roster of filings, not a map — a parcel inside city limits can still sit in a district that filed elsewhere.
| Highest-rate districts | Type | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Far Hills Utility District | Water Control and Improvement District | 0.610% |
| Corinthian Point Municipal Utility District #2 | Municipal Utility District | 0.529% |
| Montgomery County Utility District #2 | Municipal Utility District | 0.445% |
| Montgomery County Emergency Services District #1 | Emergency Services District | 0.100% |
Every district's rate and debt is on the district index and in the open data.

Why the city line is not the whole story in Willis
Willis adopted the 2nd-highest city rate of the fifteen, yet the city line is far from the largest component of a Willis bill: Willis ISD's adopted 1.035% is about 1.9 times the city's 0.552%. The 6 districts listing Willis report $30,184,268 of principal outstanding between them — the 1st-largest summed figure of the fifteen. The advertiser's Lexington Heights is recorded with no municipal utility district, which removes that entire line for its parcels; East Gate Villas is sold out and stands as completed track record rather than inventory.
