Property Tax & PID Assessment Breakdown
Understanding your total effective rate before signing a builder contract.
What Is the Public Improvement District (PID)?
The PID assessment directly funds Landmark’s master infrastructure—including master water mains, sewer trunks, arterial roadways, and initial park installations. Unlike standard city bond taxes, this appears as an independent non-ad valorem line item on your annual Denton County tax bill.
Consultant Tip: Some buyers choose to pay off the remaining PID assessment principal lump-sum at closing to lower their monthly mortgage payment and escrow obligation.
Why Independent Representation Matters
The builder’s sales representative works exclusively for the builder's bottom line.
-
Independent 3-Phase Inspections
Never rely solely on municipal code inspectors. 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 or $25k design center 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 Landmark by Hillwood
Direct facts regarding property taxes, school boundaries, builder contracts, and independent representation in South Denton.
What are the total property taxes and PID assessments in Landmark?
The ad valorem property tax rate across Denton County, the City of Denton, and Denton ISD totals approximately 2.25%. In addition, homes are subject to an annual Public Improvement District (PID) assessment, generally ranging from $1,850 to $2,750 per year depending on lot frontage. This yields an effective all-in tax rate equivalent of roughly 2.65% to 2.85%.
Which school district and campuses serve Landmark by Hillwood?
Landmark is entirely zoned within the Denton Independent School District (Denton ISD). Future phases include a dedicated on-site Denton ISD elementary school site. Secondary students currently feed into McMath Middle School and Denton High School. Always verify specific lot addresses against active Denton ISD boundary locators prior to contract execution.
Can I use a standard TREC contract when purchasing from a builder?
No. Production home builders in Texas utilize their own proprietary corporate sales agreements rather than standard Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) promulgated forms. These builder contracts heavily favor the builder regarding earnest money remedies, construction delay tolerances, and dispute resolution. Having an independent agent review these stipulations protects your interests before deposits become non-refundable.
Do I need third-party private inspections on a brand-new home?
Yes. Municipal city building inspectors only check for basic minimum code compliance, often spending less than 15 minutes on-site. We strongly advise hiring an independent TREC-licensed inspector to perform a 3-phase inspection: Phase 1 (pre-pour foundation), Phase 2 (pre-drywall framing and rough mechanicals), and Phase 3 (final cosmetic, HVAC, and roof walk-through before closing).
Does buying without an agent save me money on the purchase price?
No. Production builders budget buyer broker commissions into their overall corporate marketing overhead. Unrepresented buyers do not receive a credit, price cut, or discount for negotiating alone; the remaining commission simply stays with the builder or goes to the on-site sales representative, who exclusively owes fiduciary duty to the builder.
