What Are the Property Taxes in Kingwood, TX?

Understanding Kingwood Property Tax Rates in 2026

If you're considering Kingwood homes for sale, property taxes are likely at the top of your concern list—and rightfully so. Leslie Don Wilson, a 20-year veteran real estate agent at Texas Pride Realty Group - HomeSmart Stars, fields this question almost daily from buyers exploring this beautiful, tree-lined community.

Kingwood sits primarily in Harris County, with some properties extending into Montgomery County. Harris County's 2026 property tax rate hovers around 2.0–2.3% of your home's assessed value, while Montgomery County rates typically run slightly lower at 1.9–2.1%. That means on a $400,000 home, you're looking at roughly $8,000–$9,200 annually in property taxes.

What Impacts Your Kingwood Tax Bill?

Several factors influence your final tax amount:

  • School district taxes (Humble ISD is the largest component)
  • MUD district fees (many Kingwood neighborhoods have Municipal Utility Districts)
  • County and city services
  • Community college districts

"I always tell my clients to budget about 2.2% of their purchase price for annual taxes in Kingwood," says Leslie Don Wilson, whose team at Texas Pride Realty Group - HomeSmart Stars has closed over 1,561 home sales. "It's one of the most predictable costs in homeownership here."

Homestead Exemptions Can Save You Money

Texas offers several homestead exemptions that can reduce your taxable home value by $100,000 or more when combined. Leslie Don Wilson helps buyers understand these savings opportunities during every transaction—it's part of why his team maintains 45 Google 5-star reviews.
