Tabor Ranch has a public improvement district, so the total tax rate runs higher than in some nearby neighborhoods; it is worth comparing payments, not just prices. Builder prices, incentives and HOA dues change often. Carlee confirms school zoning, HOA and tax rates by address for her buyers before contract.
