It depends on the lot. The developer's 2025 table shows four totals per $100: 2.1799 (MUD 113, Montgomery ISD), 2.1459 (MUD 113, Conroe ISD), 2.4499 (MUD 121, Montgomery ISD) and 2.4159 (MUD 121, Conroe ISD). Each total includes Montgomery County, the hospital district and an 'EMT' line; Conroe ISD lots add a college district rate. The developer warns rates can change, so check MCAD for the parcel.

Woodforest is split between Montgomery County MUD No. 113 (2025 rate 0.56 per $100 per the developer) and MUD No. 121 (0.83). The developer links a MUD boundary map from its quick facts page. Look up the parcel on the Montgomery Central Appraisal District site to see which district applies. MUD 121 is the higher of the two, so on the same price a MUD 121 home pays more each year. Both MUDs include lots in both school districts, which is why Woodforest has four combined rates.

Two: Montgomery ISD and Conroe ISD. The developer lists Stewart Elementary (on site), Peet Junior High and Conroe High School for Conroe ISD, and Lone Star Elementary, Oak Hills Junior High and Lake Creek High School for Montgomery ISD. It does not say which sections go where, so confirm a specific address with the district before you buy. The school district also changes the tax bill: Montgomery ISD's 2025 rate is 1.0912 and Conroe ISD's is 0.9496 per the developer's table.

Peet Junior High and Conroe High School serve the Conroe ISD side; Lone Star Elementary, Oak Hills Junior High and Lake Creek High School serve the Montgomery ISD side.

No one can promise how a property will perform. No official drainage project naming Woodforest was found in this research. For any lot, check FEMA's flood map, Montgomery County's floodplain office, the seller's disclosure and any elevation certificate, and get an insurance quote early. Lakefront and golf-course lots deserve a closer look at elevation. Montgomery County has its own floodplain rules, separate from Harris County.

Pricing in Woodforest should come from recent sales in the same section, adjusted for lot, size and updates. Expect the buyer to ask for a resale certificate from each association that bills the home; ordering it early avoids delays. Because the home is in a utility or special district, Texas law requires a written district notice to the buyer, and a buyer comparing payments will look at the total tax rate. Golf, water and greenbelt frontage are the features buyers ask about first here; show them in photos and in the listing. Have the seller’s disclosure, any repair receipts and, if you have one, an elevation certificate ready before you list.
