Celina, Texas

This is the number that decides Celina. The city lists 27 public improvement districts, and the assessment is a dollar amount per lot on top of the rate above. Legacy Hills Phase 1A on a 60-foot lot carries an annual installment of $3,349 against an outstanding principal assessment of $45,564 per lot. Sutton Fields II on a 60-foot lot carries $1,380 a year. Celina Hills on a 50-foot lot carried $2,196 in 2024. Same lot width, more than double the assessment, depending on the community.
