DFW MUD and PID Taxes, Are They a Factor in How You Chose Where To Buy?

What are PID and MUD Taxes?

MUD Taxes, or Municipal Utility District Taxes, and PID Taxes, or Public Improvement District Taxes are additional assessments above standard property taxation. MUD taxes generally have no expiration date, but as more homes are constructed in MUD districts, MUD taxes can decrease or be eliminated over time. PID taxes can also be paid in full upfront, versus prorated year by year during the years the PID is active. PID's can run from 20 to 40 years in duration.

I have specialized in new construction since 2003 and can help you find new home communities with no PID/MUD or FWD special taxes. Simply call Mike Askins, the number at top of the webpage, or contact us today.

The purpose of these "special assessments" is to fund new infrastructure development when the standard tax base alone is insufficient. The various online Tax Appraisal Districts (links below) will reveal if MUD or PID taxes apply. Many times, communities with PID's or MUD taxes, have slightly lower competitive home pricing to reflect the added tax burden. Some communities eliminate PID or MUD taxation by charging more for their lots. Bottom line, there is an overage cost for new infrastructure in locations that do not have a sufficient tax base to fund development.
