Where are the most active areas for new construction homes in Harris County?

The highest volume of new construction in Harris County is concentrated in the outer suburban rings, particularly in Cypress, Katy, and Humble. These areas feature large-scale master-planned communities that drive much of the region's residential growth. While there are infill developments and townhome projects within the Loop (near downtown Houston), buyers looking for single-family detached homes with larger floor plans will find the most inventory in these northern and western corridors.

What should I know about property taxes and MUD fees in Harris County?

Property taxes in Texas fund local services rather than a state income tax. For new homes in Harris County, the total tax rate is generally a combination of county, school district, and special district taxes. Most new developments are located within Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs), which levy an additional tax to fund infrastructure like water and sewage. MUD rates vary significantly by community and typically decrease over time as the district’s debt is paid off, so it is essential to confirm the specific total rate for any listing.

Is flood insurance required for new homes in Harris County?

Flood insurance is federally mandatory for any property located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (high-risk zone) if the purchase is funded by a federally regulated or insured lender. However, the Harris County Flood Control District strongly recommends coverage for all residents, regardless of their zone. A significant portion of flood claims in the area come from properties outside high-risk zones due to the region's flat topography and intense rainfall events. Standard homeowners insurance policies generally do not cover flood damage.
