The short answer
Selling a home in Towne Lake
Selling a home in Towne Lake starts with pricing against recent sales of comparable homes nearby, not a neighborhood average. HAR’s 2025 facts put the median market value at $596,525 for Towne Lake, an appraisal-district value rather than a sale price. Buyers here tend to ask about property taxes, lake and waterfront rules and association dues and fees, so the preparation below is built around those questions, each with the source we used.

What these numbers do not tell you: what a home like yours would sell for today. That comes from an MLS report on recent sales comparable to your home (similar size, age, lot and condition), which is what a pricing review is built on.

What buyers weigh
- MUD rates vary widely
Five Harris County MUDs serve parts of Towne Lake, with 2025 adopted rates from $0.58 (MUD 172) to $1.50 (MUD 503) per $100.
- Few new homes left
Caldwell Companies said in March 2025 it was down to its last homes and homesites, so new-build choice is limited.
- Layered associations
Gated sections such as Lakeshore at Towne Lake have their own association and annual assessment on top of the master association.
- Lake rules sit behind a login
The association's FAQ, document library and lake-use pages require a resident login, so buyers cannot read boating rules before they ask.

Seller preparation
What Towne Lake buyers will ask, and what to have ready
Which of five MUDs covers the lot
Towne Lake has no city levy on HAR's table. 2025 adopted rates per $100 (Harris County Tax Office): Cy-Fair ISD $1.0669, Harris County $0.38096, Flood Control $0.04966, Hospital $0.18761, Lone Star College $0.106, Port $0.0059, Department of Education $0.0048, ESD 9 $0.03883, plus one MUD: 172 ($0.58), 501 ($0.5972), 502 ($0.77), 500 ($0.85) or 503 ($1.50). The MUD alone can change a $500,000 home's bill by more than $4,500 a year before exemptions.
- MUD 500's tax assessor posts proposed 2026 rates; check for updates after adoption.
- School homestead exemption: $140,000.
What buyers will do: Find the MUD on the HCAD record for the exact address and estimate taxes on your price; never use a neighbor's or the seller's bill.
What to have ready: Your latest tax statement with its list of taxing units and your exemptions. Buyers know their own bill will be figured on their own value and exemptions, so a clear breakdown helps.

Lakefront lots, boats and docks
The lake is private and run by the association; boating and lake-use rules are posted only for residents. Water's Edge is a gated custom section with boat slips. The lake's role in drainage is not described on any official page found, so a lakefront lot still needs its own flood map and elevation check.
- Ask about boat registration, dock or slip fees, motor limits and bulkhead upkeep.
- Check the address in HCFCD's tool and FEMA's map.
What buyers will do: Before an offer on a lakefront home, get the lake and boating rules and any dock or slip fees in writing from the association, and ask the seller for an elevation certificate.
What to have ready: Permits and records for any dock, bulkhead or shoreline work, and the association’s lake or waterfront rules.

Master and section dues through the resale certificate
CCMC manages the Towne Lake Community Association and handles resale information; no official page states the master assessment or any foundation, transfer or capital fee. Lakeshore at Towne Lake (Crest Management) bills annually, due Jan. 1 and late after Feb. 1, with a three-installment option.
What buyers will do: Order the resale certificate for both the master and any section association and read every closing fee before the option period ends.
What to have ready: The management company’s contact, an early order for the resale certificate for every association on the lot, and approval letters for exterior changes.
Sources: CCMC: Resale information · Crest Management: Lakeshore at Towne Lake FAQ
Insurance and disclosures: buyers will price homeowners and flood insurance before they commit. Have your current declarations pages, any elevation certificate and any flood-claim history ready; Texas sellers also answer flooding questions on the seller’s disclosure notice (Texas Property Code §5.008). See our Houston flood map guide.
