10 — MELISSA’S PRO TIPS
Buying in Cedar Park?Check these first.
School districts, tax areas and watering rules vary by address. Five things we check before every contract.
Melissa Jung, REALTOR®
PRO TIP
Cedar Park has two school districts. Most of the city is Leander ISD, but some southeast streets near Brushy Creek are Round Rock ISD. Check the assigned schools by address.
PRO TIP
School tax votes on Nov. 3. Leander ISD’s rate is $1.1169 per $100 if voters approve it and $1.0869 if not. Round Rock ISD votes the same day on $0.9484, or $0.8884 if it fails.
PRO TIP
Check city limits and county. The 2026–27 city rate is $0.3779, about $49 more a year for the average home. A 78613 address outside city limits pays an emergency services district tax instead, and since the city spans Williamson and Travis counties, file your homestead exemption with the right appraisal district by April 30.
PRO TIP
Lawn watering is twice a week. Cedar Park is in Stage 1, so sprinklers run two days a week by address, before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. The water comes from Lake Travis, so stages can change with lake levels.
PRO TIP
183A tolls and new express lanes. 183A tolls went up in January 2026, and the Lakeline and Crystal Falls points are in a three-year phase-in. The 183 North express lanes between SH 45 and MoPac opened in both directions in early 2026, with prices that rise with traffic.
