10 — MELISSA’S PRO TIPS
Buying in Round Rock?Check these first.
School districts, MUD taxes and flood zones vary by neighborhood. Five things we check before every contract.
Melissa Jung, REALTOR®
PRO TIP
A Round Rock address can mean other districts. Most of the city is Round Rock ISD, but parts of the east and north are Hutto, Pflugerville or Georgetown ISD. Some communities, like Teravista, are split, so check by address.
PRO TIP
City and school rates are going up. The 2026–27 city rate is $0.423 per $100, up from $0.372. Round Rock ISD’s $0.9484 (last year $0.8931) goes to voters on Nov. 3; if it fails, the rate is $0.8884.
PRO TIP
Some communities add a MUD tax. Planned communities such as Paloma Lake (about $0.37–$0.42) and Siena (about $0.53–$0.60) add a MUD tax (2025 rates). The unincorporated Brushy Creek area pays Brushy Creek MUD (about $0.43) instead of a city tax.
PRO TIP
Check the Brushy Creek flood map. The City says that under Atlas 14 rainfall data, today’s FEMA 500-year floodplain is closer to the true 100-year floodplain. Brushy Creek rose again in July 2025 and closed low-water crossings.
PRO TIP
Watering is twice a week; check the utility. City water customers follow year-round rules: two days a week by address, before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. Areas served by other utilities, such as Brushy Creek MUD, have different rules and rates.
