The property tax rate varies slightly depending on the section, but it’s approximately 2.5%–3.1%. This includes county, municipal, and MUD taxes.

For Tax information please visit:

For Current estimated tax rate please visit: wilco.org/Elected-Officials/Tax-Assessor-Collector/Property-Tax/Tax-Rates

All that infrastructure has to be funded somehow, and if you live in a Municipal Utility District, your MUD tax is how everything gets paid for. The MUD itself is responsible for setting the tax amounts, and the money goes directly to the MUD to pay for water, sewer, drainage, roads, and so on. This way, everyone has the things they need, and everybody shares the bill so that the burden doesn’t fall unevenly on some homeowners over others.

Check out our blog to learn more about MUD taxes!

The seller is responsible for completing and delivering the MUD notice form to the buyer before a sales contract is signed.

MUD taxes typically last until the district’s bonds are fully repaid, at which point the tax may decrease or be eliminated entirely.

You’ll find Georgetown, Texas, just 30 miles north of Austin, but it’s much more than a “bedroom community” for the big city. Although it was once considered a small town, it’s now one of the fastest-growing small cities in the country. You’ll find more fun things to do in Georgetown than you can shake a rattlesnake at (not that we recommend shaking rattlesnakes).

Why is everyone moving to Austin and the surrounding neighborhoods in droves? The weather is great. The culture is second to none. There are more live music venues than you can visit in a year. And there’s plenty of room in the Texas Hill Country just outside Austin for urbanites to become suburbanites!
