Questions To Ask When Considering A Move To Pflugerville

PFLUGERVILLE, TX—If you're looking to make a move to Pflugerville, and are interested in buying a new home in the area, the City of Pflugerville offers insight on what questions to ask when making a purchasing decision.

Check out some of the things to consider before making a selection as to where to call home.

• What’s going near my home? City Development Services can help you find out what could potentially go there in the future. Sometimes green space is reserved for a future park or trail or the zoning allows for apartments or an office complex. While the city does not select which individual businesses come to town, the city does create zoning to determine what kinds of businesses are permitted to what style of building you can expect to see. Ask the Planning Department so you’ll know what may come in the future. planning@pflugervilletx.gov or 512.990.6300.
• Is my home in the city limits? A Pflugerville mailing address doesn’t mean you’re necessarily in the city limits. For example Villages of Hidden Lakes, Commons of Rowe Lane and Sorento all have a Pflugerville mailing address but are not located within the Pflugerville city limits. Similarly, Sarah’s Creek on the west side of town has a Pflugerville mailing address but is located within the City of Austin jurisdiction. If you are not in the city limits, you may still pay Pflugerville Independent School District taxes and county taxes, but will not receive resident rates for services or resident benefits. Pflugerville Police Department does not serve outside the city limits. The Travis County Sheriff's department serves outer lying areas of Pflugerville. It’s also important to know if your home is located within a Municipal Utility District (MUD) as the taxes will differ for homes located in a MUD. The GIS division can help you identify if you are in the city limit.
• Who is the water provider, water supplier? Depending on where your home is located, the water lines do not always follow the city limit lines. There are three water providers that service Pflugerville – the city, Manville and SouthWest Water Company. It’s important to know who to call during a water outage and if you hear of a boil water notice to know who services your area.
• What about taxes? Texas funds its schools through local property taxes and will be the bulk of your local taxes. Texas does not have a state income tax.
• How do I stay connected and informed about what's going on in the community? Whether your home falls in the city limits or not, we hope you will Pf Connect with the City of Pflugerville.
