Assessment statements for the coming year are based on valuations set by the Montgomery County or Harris County Appraisal District, and are sent out each December. The Community Associations of The Woodlands is governed by a board of directors composed of representatives from the community associations and the developer. Funding for operations is provided through an agreement with the community associations, each of whom has the ability to assess property owners for services rendered.
