Which County Is Katy, TX In?
All three. The City of Katy itself spans Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties, and the much larger area with Katy mailing addresses does too. The county decides which appraisal district values the home.
Harris County
- Appraisal district
- Harris Central Appraisal District
- Typical areas
- North of I-10 and toward west Houston
Fort Bend County
- Appraisal district
- Fort Bend Central Appraisal District
- Typical areas
- South of I-10, including Cinco Ranch and many master-planned communities
Waller County
- Appraisal district
- Waller County Appraisal District
- Typical areas
- The western side of Katy toward Brookshire
Schools follow district lines, not county or city lines. Most Katy-area addresses are in Katy ISD, while some western and northern addresses fall in Royal ISD or Lamar CISD. Verify county, district, and tax rates for every property.
What Should Katy Agents Know About the Addicks and Barker Reservoirs?
East of Katy, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates the Addicks and Barker reservoirs, which hold back floodwater to protect Houston. Some neighborhoods were built inside the reservoirs' flood pools, and parts of them flooded during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
Texas now requires the Seller's Disclosure to ask whether a property is in or near a reservoir or its flood pool, so this is a topic every Katy agent needs to handle well.
Read the disclosure carefully
Review the reservoir and flood pool questions on the Seller's Disclosure with the buyer.
Check the maps
Look up the property on FEMA's flood map and any available reservoir flood-pool maps.
Ask about history
Ask whether water has entered the home and whether any claims or assistance were received.
Quote insurance early
Have buyers get flood and homeowners quotes during the option period from a licensed insurance agent.
General information only, not insurance or engineering advice. Agents should not predict flood risk; refer buyers to FEMA, the Harris County Flood Control District, the Corps of Engineers, and licensed professionals.
What Makes Katy, Katy?
Long before the Grand Parkway and master-planned communities, Katy was a rice-farming town on the "Katy" railroad. That history still shows up in Old Town Katy, the annual Rice Harvest Festival, and the rail line that still runs through town. Knowing the story behind the place helps agents connect with longtime residents and newcomers alike.
