The Reality
- Michael’s bottom lineImperial Oaks gives you a lot of community for the money in Conroe ISD, but the tax bill depends on which section you buy in. I would pull the MCAD account for every house on your list and line up the MUD rows before falling for one. In the older sections, the inspection matters more than the paint.

Michael’s Take Broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Imperial Oaks gives you a lot of community for the money in Conroe ISD, but the tax bill depends on which section you buy in. I would pull the MCAD account for every house on your list and line up the MUD rows before falling for one. In the older sections, the inspection matters more than the paint.
