10 — MELISSA’S PRO TIPS
Buying in Kyle?Check these first.
Water, PID assessments and flooding are the key things to check in Kyle. Five things to confirm before you sign.
Melissa Jung, REALTOR®
PRO TIP
Water is the biggest issue. Since October 2025, water rates have risen 20% inside city limits (77% outside). Check the watering rules, too.
PRO TIP
Check for PID assessments. Some communities, including 6 Creeks, carry PID assessments of several thousand dollars a year on top of property taxes.
PRO TIP
Look at the full tax picture. Kyle’s city rate of $0.546 (2026–27, down 8%), Austin Community College at $0.10 and Hays CISD at $1.15 all apply. The city homestead exemption is $40,000.
PRO TIP
Hays CISD growth plans. A 2025 tax rate increase was voted down, keeping the rate at $1.1546. A seventh middle school is expected to go to a 2027 bond.
PRO TIP
Check Plum Creek flooding. Plum Creek rises quickly. FEMA released new preliminary flood maps in 2025 — check by address.
