Location Trinity Falls residents enjoy a McKinney address, but the community is actually located in the extra territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of McKinney. Through the ETJ, the city retains oversight of land development outside of city limits, ensuring projects within the ETJ meet the city’s high standards.

Municipal Utility DistrictIn addition to being in McKinney’s ETJ, Trinity Falls is within a Municipal Utility District (MUD). MUDs allow developers to efficiently finance infrastructure outside city limits, which provides a number of benefits to homebuyers. The infrastructure includes services that directly benefit our community and attract new businesses to the area. Since the MUD functions as an independent and local entity, it can address community needs and make decisions that reflect the unique vision for Trinity Falls, as well as quickly and effectively respond to emergencies and outages.

Water The City of McKinney provides water and sewer service within Trinity Falls. Have questions? Contact the City of McKinney.

TaxesSince Trinity Falls is within a MUD, residents do not pay City of McKinney property taxes and instead receive an annual property tax bill from the MUD. Tax rates vary and typically decline over time as operating and debt service costs become shared over a larger number of homeowners. Currently, the district’s total tax rate is $1.05 per $100 assessed valuation. Residents pay additional taxes to Collin County, McKinney ISD, and Collin College.

The combined tax rate for Trinity Falls’ residents is $2.902007 per $100 of assessed valuation. The 2018 tax rate includes:

Collin County $0.180785 McKinney ISD $1.590000 Collin College $0.081222McKinney MUD No. 1 $1.050000 Total Tax Rate $2.902007

W h a t I s a M u d ?Why �e they important?Dallas-Fort Worth remains one of the nation’s hottest markets for new homes. One thing that is supporting this growth in the D-FW market are special districts, such as Public Improvement Districts (PIDs), Municipal Management Districts and Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs).

How do these special districts help? These special utility districts are a financing vehicle for the development of infrastructure (roads, utilities, drainage, etc.), which allows developers to recoup expenses at a faster pace than from the sales of lots. This has many results:

1 Builders pay less for homesites than they might without district financing, which means home buyers pay less for their homes.

2 With infrastructure costs covered through the MUD, developers have more leeway to introduce a higher level of amenities within a community.

3 A higher number of households often brings nearby retail conveniences.

4 In a market such as D-FW that has a great demand for developed lots, having homesites developed at a quicker pace helps keep supply-and-demand market volatility in check.

Generally, without a special utility district, you’ll either find a community with minimal amenities or one with similar amenities, but a higher home cost. For families wanting to live in a highly-amenitized, new-home community, one that is within a special utility district is a viable — if not preferred — option.

A MUD can allow you to buy a bigger home, in a better community, cheaper. See below for a comparison of Trinity Falls, which is within two MUDs, and two communities that do not have special utility districts.
