The Interstate Exodus to the Sunbelt: How Uncapped Property Tax Millages and Hidden MUD Levies Are Reshaping Suburban Texas Migration Corridors
As corporate relocations accelerate migration along the I-35 and Grand Parkway corridors, incoming residents face an increasingly complex landscape of layered local assessments. In rapidly expanding enclaves like Katy, Leander, and Celina, baseline home prices often mask the compounding impact of Municipal Utility District (MUD) taxes and escalating school district debt service.
Our municipal data desk analyzed 450 regional tax dockets, revealing that combined effective tax burdens in newly incorporated subdivisions frequently exceed 2.75% of assessed valuation. When paired with private water utility connection fees and mandatory drainage surcharges, the actual monthly carrying cost can surpass comparable suburban footprints in traditional coastal feeder markets.
