Property Tax & FWSD / PID Breakdown
Understanding your total effective rate before signing a builder contract in Harvest.
What Is Belmont FWSD #1 and the PID?
Harvest does not pay a standard municipal city tax. Instead, Belmont Fresh Water Supply District #1 (FWSD #1) assesses a tax to pay for water mains, sanitary sewer, and arterial roads. In addition, an annual PID assessment ($0.21 per $100 valuation) funds ongoing common area landscaping, lake management, and park infrastructure.
Consultant Tip: HOA dues in Harvest are ~$1,100/yr (approx. $92/month), which conveniently includes basic internet and basic cable services funded through the master association.
Why Independent Representation Matters
The builder’s sales representative works exclusively for the builder's bottom line.
-
Independent 3-Phase Inspections
Fresh Water Supply District inspectors focus on basic code compliance. We mandate independent third-party checks at the pre-pour foundation phase, pre-drywall framing phase, and final cosmetic walk-through.
-
Incentive vs. Base Price Leverage
Whether navigating 4.99% permanent buydowns, design center concessions, or $20k closing cost allowances, we analyze if builder concessions outweigh standard financing options.
-
Contract Safeguards
Builders utilize custom corporate sales agreements rather than standard TREC contracts. We verify your earnest money protections, lot reservation terms, and escalation clauses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Harvest by Hillwood
Direct facts regarding property taxes, school boundaries, builder contracts, and independent representation in Argyle & Northlake.
What are the total property taxes and district assessments in Harvest?
Harvest does not pay a traditional city tax. Instead, infrastructure is funded through Belmont Fresh Water Supply District #1 (FWSD #1) with a tax rate of approximately $1.00 per $100 valuation, plus an annual PID assessment of roughly $0.21 per $100 valuation. Combined with county, emergency services, and school district taxes, the total effective tax rate generally sits between 2.25% and 2.45%.
How does school zoning work between Argyle ISD and Northwest ISD in Harvest?
Harvest is uniquely served by two distinct public school districts. The community features three on-site elementary schools: Argyle West Elementary and Jane Ruestmann Elementary (serving Argyle ISD homes), and Lance Thompson Elementary (serving Northwest ISD homes). District boundaries depend on the specific street and phase. Always verify your specific parcel address on the developer's official site plan prior to contract signing.
What amenities are included with the Harvest HOA dues?
HOA dues in Harvest are approximately $1,100 per year ($92/month). Dues fund basic cable and internet service through Frontier/Verizon, multiple resort swimming pools, splash parks, the Fit Barn, the Farmhouse Coffee Shop, sand volleyball courts, catch-and-release fishing lakes, an on-site commercial farm with private garden plots, and full-time lifestyle director programming.
Do I need an independent inspection on a new build in Harvest?
Yes. Municipal and FWSD inspectors only check for minimum code compliance. We advise every client to schedule an independent 3-phase inspection: Phase 1 (pre-pour foundation cables and moisture barrier), Phase 2 (pre-drywall framing and rough MEP systems), and Phase 3 (final pre-closing walk-through with infrared thermal imaging).
Does buying directly from the on-site builder sales rep save me money?
No. Production builders in Harvest budget buyer agent commissions into corporate marketing overhead. Unrepresented buyers do not receive a price reduction or credit; the savings remain with the builder. Having your own independent real estate consultant protect your interests costs you $0 out of pocket.
Request the Harvest Lot Map & ISD Boundary Guide
Harvest spans two separate municipalities (Argyle and Northlake) and two different school districts (Argyle ISD and Northwest ISD). Additionally, infrastructure is financed through Belmont Fresh Water Supply District #1 (FWSD #1) alongside a Northlake Public Improvement District (PID) assessment. Before writing an offer, it is essential to verify which specific school district your prospective lot feeds into and what your true annual FWSD/PID tax assessment will be.
