The Retreat: Property Tax

Your responsibility for the payment of all real estate property taxes on your lot begins on the date you sign your Real Estate Sales Contract. This includes:

Rio Vista and/or Cleburne I.S.D. Taxes
Johnson County Taxes

Additional taxes may also apply, including:

Hill College Taxes
Special District Taxes (e.g., Johnson County Fire District and the Lateral Road District)

Tax Assessment:
Taxes are calculated using various methods, typically based on a percentage of the selling price multiplied by a millage factor. Based on the 2022 property tax rates, taxes are estimated at approximately $2.32 per $100 of assessed value. Please note that the assessed value of your lot, the tax rates, or both, may increase or decrease in the future.

There are no other real estate property taxes assessed against your lot at this time. For more detailed information, please visit the Johnson County Tax Office.

Consequences of Non-Payment:
If you purchase a lot using an installment contract and fail to pay the taxes when due, we may be required to pay these taxes to prevent the appropriate taxing authorities from filing a lien against your lot. Should you refuse to reimburse us for the taxes paid, we reserve the right to foreclose on your lot.
