Property taxes and special districts
A Texas home pays tax to several bodies at once: the county, usually a city, a school district and often special districts. Rates are per $100 of taxable value, as reported to the Texas Comptroller for 2025. Your bill depends on which of these overlap the lot, which a HouseDirt report works out for the exact address.
4 municipal utility districts (MUDs) and 5 water, utility, improvement and similar districts in all reported a 2025 tax rate in Hunt County. The median MUD rate was $0.975 and the highest $1.00 per $100. A MUD or PID can add a large share to a tax bill; see how MUD and PID taxes work.
