09 — MELISSA’S PRO TIPS

Buying in Georgetown?Check these first.

School districts, watering rules and aquifer rules vary by area. Five things to check before you sign.

Melissa Jung, REALTOR®

PRO TIP
Sun City is a 55+ community. At least one member of each household must be 55 or older. It has no bearing on school zoning.
PRO TIP
School districts vary by lot. Most of Georgetown is Georgetown ISD, but some areas are Leander, Liberty Hill or Jarrell ISD. Always verify by address.
PRO TIP
Georgetown ISD tax rate election on Nov. 3. If approved, the rate rises from $1.0506 to $1.1106 — about $8 more a year on a median-priced home.
PRO TIP
Watering is twice a week. Georgetown water is in Stage 1: twice a week by address (never Mondays), and no sprinklers from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Conservation rebates go up to $5,000.
PRO TIP
Flood maps have expanded. Williamson County’s Atlas 14 maps (2024) added about 6,000 properties to flood zones. The city recommends flood insurance.
