Buying or selling a home zoned to Katy Junior High?

This zone runs from 1960s Katyland ranch homes to brand-new Cane Island and Elyson builds — sixty years of housing stock feeding one junior high, which makes comps here trickier than the map suggests. As your real estate buyer’s agent I’ll confirm both the zoning and the high-school assignment on every home we tour, weigh dues, MUD taxes and flood history, and negotiate on your behalf — we’ll agree on how I’m paid up front and in writing.
