Reading the Willis numbers
Willis ISD lands just under the midpoint of the table: its 1.035% total sits below the ten-district median of 1.049%. Its operations rate, 0.667%, is the same figure Cleveland ISD and Tomball ISD adopted — the trio differ only in debt service, of which Willis carries 0.368%. The north-county question is usually Willis against Conroe ISD, and the arithmetic answer is $256 a year at $300,000 in Conroe ISD's favour — before any utility district enters the picture, which is where a specific parcel can reverse the ordering entirely.
A $300,000 home zoned to Willis ISD pays $700 more school tax each year than the same home in Richards ISD, the county's lowest-rate district, and $661 less than in New Caney ISD, its highest.

The City of Willis levy on top
The 2025 city table lists City of Willis at 0.552%. Inside the city limits — in the Montgomery County portion, for cities that cross county lines — a Willis-zoned bill runs 2.117% of value — $6,351 at $300,000 — while the same home outside any city stays at 1.565%. City limits and district lines are independent boundaries; a parcel can be inside either, both, or neither.
6 special districts give Willis 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.
