09 — MELISSA’S PRO TIPS
Buying in Northeast Austin?Know this first.
School districts, special fees and flood maps change street by street here. Six things we check on every purchase.
Melissa Jung, REALTOR®
PRO TIP
Same ZIP, different school tax. Austin ISD’s rate is about $0.93 per $100; Pflugerville and Manor ISD are about $1.08–$1.11. The district changes both the tax bill and the schools.
PRO TIP
Ask about PID and MUD fees. Some newer 78754 communities, such as WildHorse Ranch, carry a public improvement district assessment. Check the tax bill before you offer.
PRO TIP
Check the flood map. Walnut Creek and Little Walnut Creek run through the area. A $28.8M flood project finished in 2026 and took some homes out of the floodplain — look up the address in FloodPro.
PRO TIP
Visit at rush hour. I-35 construction runs to about 2029, with more building at EastVillage and Uptown ATX. Drive your commute before you choose a street.
PRO TIP
File your homestead exemption. Texas raised the school-tax exemption to $140,000 in 2025. File with the Travis Central Appraisal District by April 30.
PRO TIP
Older streets often have no HOA. Many 1970s–80s streets in 78753 and 78758 have no HOA, while newer 78754 sections usually do. Ask for dues and rules early.
