What Drives Rentals In The Woodlands
The Woodlands, TX is a master-planned, unincorporated community in Montgomery and Harris Counties governed by The Woodlands Township, not a city government.

Property taxes in Montgomery County and Harris County
The Woodlands Township, the special-purpose district governing most of the community, adopted a 2025 tax rate of $0.1714 per $100 of valuation on September 4, 2025. On a $2,000,000 apartment building, that Township rate alone equals $3,428 a year ($2,000,000 × 0.001714). Montgomery County, Harris County and Conroe ISD each levy additional tax on top of the Township rate, set independently, so a buyer should budget for those layered levies, not the Township rate alone.
Landlord rules
Texas Property Code §92.103 and §92.109 require a landlord to return a security deposit, or an itemized deduction list, within 30 days of move-out; bad-faith retention adds a $100 penalty plus triple the withheld amount. Texas Local Government Code §214.902 bars a city from adopting rent control except during a governor-approved disaster, and The Woodlands has no municipal government to adopt one anyway. Those rules apply whether an owner is renting units out now or planning to sell commercial real estate in The Woodlands, TX later.
What it means for an owner
The Woodlands is governed by The Woodlands Township, a special-purpose district under state law, not an incorporated city, so there is no municipal tax layer beyond the Township, county and school rates above. Texas levies no state or local real estate transfer tax, under Texas Constitution Article 8, Section 29(a), so an owner who wants to sell commercial property in The Woodlands, TX adds no transfer-tax line at closing. Run the numbers through Skyline Capital Investments' cap rate calculator or start the process to sell your apartment building once a target price is set.
