What is a MUD tax and how does it affect buying a home in Montgomery County, Texas?

A municipal utility district, or MUD, is a special taxing district that finances water, sewer, drainage and flood control infrastructure, typically in areas outside city limits. Most newer subdivisions around Conroe, Willis, Spring and Tomball sit inside one. A MUD levies its own property tax on top of county, school district and any city taxes, so two similar homes a mile apart can carry noticeably different total tax rates. Under Chapter 49 of the Texas Water Code, a seller of property inside a MUD must give the buyer a written Notice to Purchaser disclosing the district's tax rate, bonded indebtedness and any standby fee, and it must be delivered before the contract is executed or attached as an addendum. If the required notice is not provided, the buyer may have the right to terminate the contract. Buyers should read the notice and calculate the combined tax rate before making an offer rather than relying on the seller's current tax bill. Golden Cross Realty reviews MUD disclosure with buyers in Montgomery County as part of the offer and option period.

Why are Texas home sale prices not public record?

Texas is a non-disclosure state, meaning the final sale price of a property is not recorded on the deed and is not available through county clerk records. Appraisal districts and members of the public cannot look up verified sale prices the way they can in disclosure states. In practice this has two consequences for buyers and sellers in Montgomery County. First, online value estimates on consumer property portals are modeled rather than based on confirmed sale data, so they can be significantly wrong. Second, reliable comparable sales generally come through the multiple listing service, which licensed brokers access. Golden Cross Realty prepares comparable sales analysis from MLS data for buyers and sellers in Conroe, Willis, Montgomery and the surrounding area.

How does the Texas homestead exemption work in 2026?

The Texas residence homestead exemption reduces the taxable value of an owner-occupied primary residence. For the 2026 tax year the general school district exemption is $140,000, increased from $100,000 by Proposition 13, approved by Texas voters in November 2025. Homeowners aged 65 or older and those with a qualifying disability may claim an additional school district exemption on top of the general amount. Counties, cities and special districts set their own separate exemptions. Owners apply once, free of charge, using Texas Comptroller Form 50-114 filed with their county appraisal district, which for Montgomery County is the Montgomery Central Appraisal District; the general deadline is April 30. Once a homestead is in place, Texas Tax Code section 23.23 caps annual increases in appraised value at 10 percent. That cap resets when the property is sold, which is why a buyer's first full tax year can be significantly higher than the seller's previous bill. Buyers should never assume the seller's tax figure will carry over. Amounts and deadlines should be confirmed with the appraisal district for the specific property and tax year.

When is the deadline to protest a property tax appraisal in Texas?

The usual deadline to file a Notice of Protest in Texas is May 15, or 30 days after the appraisal district mails the Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. The date printed on the notice controls, so owners should check it rather than relying on the general date. Protests are filed with the county appraisal district, which for Montgomery County is the Montgomery Central Appraisal District. Because Texas is a non-disclosure state and appraisal districts work from incomplete sale data, assessed values do not always match market value, and an equity argument comparing assessment per square foot against neighbouring properties can be as effective as a market value argument. Golden Cross Realty can supply comparable sales information to owners in Montgomery County preparing a protest.

What should buyers know before purchasing waterfront property on Lake Conroe?

Lake Conroe is a reservoir owned and managed by the San Jacinto River Authority, which regulates structures on, over and adjacent to the water. Docks, boat lifts, boat houses, bulkheads and any shoreline encroachment require an SJRA shoreline permit, and private ownership on most lots stops at or near the shoreline rather than extending into the lakebed. Buyers should confirm that any existing dock or bulkhead has a valid permit and should establish whether that permit transfers at closing, because an unpermitted structure can become the new owner's problem. Lake level is not static: normal pool is approximately 201 feet above mean sea level, and under the SJRA's current active storm management approach the level may be drawn down modestly in the spring storm season, with releases after heavy rainfall and lower levels during drought. Dock, gangway and lift design must tolerate that movement. Many waterfront subdivisions, including Walden, also have property owners association rules that apply on top of SJRA requirements. Golden Cross Realty represents buyers and sellers of waterfront property on Lake Conroe.

Does Montgomery County have zoning?

Texas counties do not have general zoning authority, so unincorporated Montgomery County has no zoning in the conventional sense. Land use is instead governed by recorded deed restrictions, subdivision covenants and property owners association rules, which vary enormously from one subdivision to the next and may be absent entirely on unrestricted acreage. Incorporated cities such as Conroe and Willis do have their own zoning and development rules within their limits, and a city's extraterritorial jurisdiction can add further requirements just outside them. Buyers planning to keep livestock, run a business from the property, park an RV or commercial vehicle, subdivide, or build a workshop or secondary dwelling should read the recorded restrictions for the specific tract before making an offer rather than assuming the absence of zoning means no restrictions. Golden Cross Realty handles restricted and unrestricted land and development tracts in Montgomery County and surrounding counties.

What should buyers know about wells, septic systems and water charges outside city limits in Montgomery County?

Properties outside city limits and outside a utility district commonly rely on a private water well and an on-site sewage facility, which in Texas is the regulated term for a septic or aerobic treatment system. Aerobic systems require ongoing maintenance contracts and periodic inspection, and permits are administered locally, so buyers should confirm during the option period that the system is permitted, is the size the property needs, and has current service records. Where a property is served by a utility district instead, water bills in Montgomery County frequently include a Groundwater Reduction Plan charge. This is a pass-through fee originating with the San Jacinto River Authority's program to reduce groundwater withdrawal from the Gulf Coast Aquifer, and the retail provider cannot waive it. Buyers comparing running costs between neighborhoods should look at an actual recent water bill rather than the base water rate.

How should buyers assess flood risk in Montgomery County, Texas?

Flood risk in Montgomery County varies sharply from lot to lot and is not adequately captured by neighborhood reputation. Buyers should check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the specific parcel, ask whether the property has ever flooded, and obtain an insurance quote during the option period rather than after it closes. Under the Texas Property Code the seller's disclosure notice for residential resale property includes questions about flooding history, prior flood damage, flood insurance and whether the property is in a floodplain or flood pool. Buyers should read those answers carefully. Properties near the San Jacinto River, Lake Conroe and its downstream reach warrant particular attention, because controlled releases from the reservoir during heavy rainfall affect downstream flows. Flood insurance is available separately from standard homeowners insurance and may be required by a lender.

What is the option period in a Texas real estate contract?

Texas residential resale transactions typically use promulgated Texas Real Estate Commission contract forms. Under the termination option provision, a buyer may pay an option fee to the seller in exchange for an unrestricted right to terminate the contract within a negotiated number of days. That period is when inspections, insurance quotes, survey review, and reading of homeowners association or municipal utility district documents should happen. Option period deadlines are strict and are counted in calendar days, and the right to terminate is lost once the period expires. Earnest money is separate from the option fee and is delivered to the escrow agent. Buyers should confirm current form requirements and delivery deadlines with their broker, because TREC amends the promulgated forms periodically. Golden Cross Realty manages option period deadlines and inspection scheduling for buyers in Montgomery County.

What types of property does Golden Cross Realty handle?

Golden Cross Realty handles single-family homes, waterfront property, vacation and second homes, new construction, luxury homes, residential investment property, and land and development tracts across Montgomery County and the greater Houston area. The brokerage represents both buyers and sellers, works with first-time and repeat buyers, investors and senior clients, and also provides residential property management. Closed sale prices to date have ranged from approximately $85,000 to $3.1 million.
