No property owners association for Roman Forest appears in the Texas HOA management certificate index (checked Oct. 13, 2026). Deed restrictions are posted by the City of Roman Forest; whether an association enforces them is not stated. Source
Answers depend on the address and section. The governing documents and the association’s confirmation control.
What we could not verify
- Incorporation year (not on pages opened).
- 2025 tax rates for Roman Forest Consolidated MUD and Roman Forest PUD #3; which water district serves Sections 5 and 6.
- Whether a property owners association enforces the deed restrictions; maintenance-fund amount for Section 1 Block 16 (deed-restriction PDFs are scans with no readable text).
- Pool access rules and fees (residents-only or public).
- Roman Forest PUD #3 site could not be opened from this environment.
- Any property owners association for Roman Forest (none in the state certificate index).
- Roman Forest Consolidated MUD website and current rate (not in District Directory).
- Roman Forest PUD 4 also levies a tax (1.0785 per $100 for 2025: M&O 0.0691, debt 1.0094, per the Montgomery County Tax Office table); whether it serves Sections 5 and 6 is not confirmed.

Schools
New Caney ISD; confirm by address in the NCISD street listing Source
Attendance zones are set by address and can change each year. Confirm with the district before you rely on a campus.
Flood, drainage and property research
A mapped flood zone does not tell you a home’s full flood risk, and a neighbor’s history doesn’t tell you this home’s. Check the specific address, ask the seller for the Texas flood disclosure and any claims history, and get an insurance quote early.
Buying here
What to review before an offer in City of Roman Forest
- Read the declaration and any supplemental declaration for the home’s section, plus the architectural guidelines, before your option period ends.
- Order the resale certificate early and confirm every association that bills the home, with current dues and transfer fees.
- Look up the parcel’s MUD or other district tax rates; they can be a large share of the total bill and vary by section.
- Check the address on FEMA and county flood tools, request the seller’s flood disclosure, and price flood insurance before you commit.
- Confirm school assignment for the exact address with the district.
