Reading the Montgomery numbers
Montgomery ISD's 1.091% is seventh of the ten, and its composition is unusual: every other district's operations rate falls either in the 0.666%–0.674% band or at 0.755%, while Montgomery's 0.717% stands alone between the two groups (grouping at rendered three-decimal precision). Its 0.374% debt-service half is the fourth-largest in the county. Against Willis ISD the difference is $169 a year at $300,000; against Conroe ISD it is $425. Over a ten-year hold, the Conroe ISD gap alone adds up to $4,248 at a flat rate and value.
A $300,000 home zoned to Montgomery ISD pays $869 more school tax each year than the same home in Richards ISD, the county's lowest-rate district, and $492 less than in New Caney ISD, its highest.

The City of Montgomery levy on top
The 2025 city table lists City of Montgomery at 0.400%. Inside the city limits — in the Montgomery County portion, for cities that cross county lines — a Montgomery-zoned bill runs 2.022% of value — $6,065 at $300,000 — while the same home outside any city stays at 1.621%. City limits and district lines are independent boundaries; a parcel can be inside either, both, or neither.
10 special districts give Montgomery as their city in the Comptroller's district database. A parcel inside one adds that district's own rate on top of all of the above — the district index carries each rate and each district's reported debt.
