Which Montgomery County communities have no MUD tax?
Lexington Heights in Willis is a documented example — an Alta Homes community that carries no municipal utility district, which removes an entire line from the annual tax stack.
What is a MUD tax and why does it matter?
A municipal utility district borrows to build water, sewer and drainage for a subdivision, then levies its own property tax to repay that debt. It is charged on top of county, school district and city taxes, and it is the main reason two similar homes carry very different bills.
Which school district has the lowest tax rate near Conroe and Willis?
Of the districts serving Alta Homes communities, Conroe ISD and Willis ISD adopted lower rates than Splendora ISD for tax year 2025. Exact adopted rates are published on this site's school district table.
How fast can I move into a new home?
Alta Homes has quick move-in homes that can be ready in as little as 30 days.
What is included in an Alta Homes home?
The refrigerator, washer, dryer, blinds throughout, garage door opener, granite kitchen countertops, ten-foot ceilings in common areas and a fully fenced backyard are included as standard.
What warranty comes with the home?
A 2-Year Limited Warranty covering workmanship and systems, plus a 10-Year Major Structural Warranty.
Why did my new-home tax bill jump in the second year?
A home under construction on January 1 is assessed on what existed then, often just the lot. The following year it is assessed as a finished house, and the bill rises in one step.
How many MUD districts does Montgomery County have?
Montgomery County has 162 chartered municipal utility districts, out of 203 special districts of all kinds — the largest count of any district type in the county. The Comptroller's databases are per-district; no agency publishes county-level rollups. The count is computed here from those per-district records.
What is a typical MUD tax rate in Montgomery County?
Across the 107 MUDs with a nonzero adopted rate for tax year 2025, the median adopted rate is 1.000% of assessed value — exactly one dollar per $100 — and the average is 0.899%. On a $300,000 assessed value the median MUD levy alone is $3,000 a year, on top of county, school and city taxes.
Do Montgomery County MUD taxes mostly fund services or repay debt?
In a majority of rated MUDs, more of the rate goes to debt than to operations: 78 of the 107 rated MUDs levy an interest-and-sinking rate that repays construction bonds, and in 59 of them the debt-service component exceeds the operations component — typical of districts still repaying their original build-out.
How much debt do Montgomery County emergency services districts report?
The 8 of the county's 11 chartered emergency services districts (one is inactive) that report a figure show $85,913,875 of principal outstanding in their Comptroller filings. The figures are self-reported and not independently verified, and districts levying a debt-service rate while reporting no figure exist — so this is a floor, not a total.
Who builds new homes near Lake Conroe?
This site advertises one: Alta Homes builds at Lake Conroe Village in Montgomery, TX — its lowest price band, from the $170,000s — and in Willis at the north end of the lake (Lexington Heights, from the $250s, no MUD). Flood mapping and the serving utility district are parcel-level checks; confirm both before contracting.
