Paramount

Information to Consider

• HOA dues are approximately $420 annually (about $35 per month).
• Estimated base tax rate is around 2.2%. Without exemptions, on a $350,000 home, annual taxes are roughly $7,700.
• PID Assessment: Paramount is part of Southwest Kyle PID #1. Homeowners pay an additional annual assessment based on lot size, averaging about $83/month or about $996/year.
• Because the PID shows up on the property tax statement, many buyers experience this more like an effective burden closer to a 2.4–2.5% effective rate.

What is a PID?

A PID (Public Improvement District) is a special district created by a city or county to fund public improvements such as:

• Roads & sidewalks
• Landscaping and green spaces
• Parks & recreational amenities
• Lighting & public safety improvements

Instead of raising the tax rate, a PID charges a separate assessment that appears on the annual property tax bill until the improvements are paid off.

Local Neighbor Comment

“Living here almost 3 years it's been very pleasant. Almost everyone has been polite. You'll have kids playing, people walking their dogs. A big con is amenities. All we have is a small playground with mixed reviews and a nature trail. I don't hear the train at all unless it's completely still and quiet outside. Even then it's muffled.”

“In our household of two adults, our water bill typically runs anywhere from $170–$215 depending on whether we’re watering often. We’ve been here for just over a year and have had no issues at all, definitely a peaceful neighborhood. As for electric, that usually hovers around $100, give or take 20 either way. Natural gas bill is pretty negligible, around 30/40 a month. My only gripe would be having to take the turnaround to get facing the right direction if you go north often, but that’s more of a mild annoyance. My favorite thing is how much is within driving distance in both directions.”
