Things worth asking a Willis-area agent

  • City limits and utilities: A Willis mailing address doesn't always mean the home is inside the City of Willis limits, and water, sewer, and taxes can come from different providers or districts. Ask whether the home is on city utilities, a MUD, a water supply corporation, or a private well and septic system.
  • Acreage and rural properties: If you're looking at land or a home on acreage, ask about surveys, easements, deed restrictions, and any agricultural or other special appraisal and what happens if the land's use changes.
  • Property taxes and exemptions: Texas has no state income tax, and local property taxes stack up by address: county, school district, city (if inside city limits), and often a MUD or other special district. Look up an address's appraisal and taxing units at the Montgomery Central Appraisal District and tax bills at the Montgomery County Tax Office. If the home will be your principal residence, the Texas Comptroller explains the residence homestead exemption (including the school-district homestead exemption set by Tax Code §11.13(b)); exemption applications are generally filed with the county appraisal district before May 1.
  • Flood risk: Ask about the flood history and FEMA flood zone for the specific address, check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and read the seller's disclosure notice (TREC publishes the Seller's Disclosure Notice form).
  • How closings usually work in Texas: Most resale purchases use contract forms promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission, often with a negotiated option period and option fee, and closings are commonly handled by a title company. Ask your agent to walk you through the contract dates before you sign.
  • Insurance: Get homeowners (and, where relevant, flood) quotes from your own insurance provider early; we don't refer insurance.
  • Near the lake: For homes on or near Lake Conroe, ask about San Jacinto River Authority permits for docks, slips, and bulkheads.
