How does Waller County differ from its neighbors?
Next to Harris County and Fort Bend County, Waller County has lower basis and more open land, but fewer utility districts and less drainage infrastructure. A farm at the Harris County line may carry detention and flood-map questions, while a parcel near Hempstead may carry questions about water service and access. Montgomery County to the north has more timber and lake influence. Waller County's growth rate has been among the fastest in Texas, but its tracts vary widely in readiness for development.
