MUDs and Special Districts Add to Your Tax Bill

New Guadalupe County subdivisions can come with more than county, city, and school taxes. A Municipal Utility District, or MUD, may help pay for water lines, sewer, drainage, or other subdivision work. The district then taxes property inside its boundary.

The county's active taxing-unit list includes MUDs, water districts, and river-lake districts. The important detail is the exact parcel. Two homes that look alike can sit in different taxing stacks. Before you compare prices near Schertz, Cibolo, or Seguin, pull the full taxing-unit list for the address.
