What Should You Know Before Buying a New Build in Caliza Reserve, Boerne?

Caliza Reserve is a new-construction community off Boerne Stage Road with a Boerne (78006) mailing address, but both of its builders list it in Bexar County, not Kendall County. As of November 2026, Toll Brothers lists homes from $769,995 and Chesmar Homes from $848,990, both on half-acre homesites served by Boerne ISD. Before you reserve a lot, price the Bexar County tax stack plus Boerne ISD, ask whether a special improvement district applies, and bring your own buyer’s agent on the first visit.

Where Is Caliza Reserve, and Why Does “Boerne, Bexar County” Matter?

The Toll Brothers sales center is at 10302 Heartland Way, Boerne, TX 78006, and Chesmar’s sales office is next door at 10306 Heartland Way. The community sits off Boerne Stage Road in the Hill Country northwest of San Antonio.

Here’s the detail that changes your budget: Toll Brothers’ community page lists Bexar County, and Chesmar’s overview lists County: Bexar and School District: Boerne ISD. So you get a Boerne address and Boerne ISD, but your county taxes, appraisal district, and homestead filing run through Bexar County. A Boerne mailing address also doesn’t mean the lot is inside City of Boerne limits. Pull the Bexar Appraisal District record for the exact homesite.


Which Builders Are Selling in Caliza Reserve, and What Do Homes Cost?

Here’s what the two official builder pages listed when I reviewed them on November 8, 2026:

Builder Listed starting price Size range Notes from the builder page
Toll Brothers From $769,995 2,948–5,184 sq ft 3–5 bedrooms; one- and two-story designs; half-acre, 100-foot homesites; “New Phase Coming Soon”
Chesmar Homes From $848,990 2,856–4,345 sq ft Single-family homes on 1/2-acre lots; “Phase 2 Coming Soon”

Toll’s starting price is for its smallest design, the one-story Selena. Its two quick move-in homes were listed at $1,048,000 (Sofia, 3,433 sq ft) and $1,130,000 (Winry, 4,206 sq ft). The gap between “from” pricing and finished-home pricing is normal. Lot premiums, elevation, and design-studio selections add up quickly on a half-acre homesite. Get the base price, lot premium, options, and incentive deadline in writing before you sign.

Builders also advertise special financing on select homes. Treat any advertised rate as a builder promotion with conditions, not a promise for your loan. Compare it with an outside lender’s Loan Estimate. My video Are New Construction Builder Incentives in San Antonio Actually Worth It? walks through how to compare them.


Which School District Serves Caliza Reserve?

Both builders list Boerne ISD. Toll Brothers names Viola Wilson Elementary, Boerne Middle School South, and Champion High School, and all three appear on Boerne ISD’s campus list. Attendance zones can change as a district grows, so confirm the exact address with Boerne ISD before you rely on a builder flyer. Use Texas Education Agency report cards if you want campus data.


What Will Property Taxes Look Like in Caliza Reserve?

Because the community is in Bexar County, start with Bexar County’s 2026 official rate list, then add Boerne ISD:

Taxing unit 2026 rate per $100 Source
Bexar County $0.285963 Bexar County 2026 list
Hospital District $0.276235 Bexar County 2026 list
Alamo Community College District $0.166650 Bexar County 2026 list
San Antonio River Authority $0.019300 Bexar County 2026 list
Road and Flood $0.014036 Bexar County 2026 list
Boerne ISD $1.006500 Kendall County’s Boerne ISD rate summary

That adds up to about $1.77 per $100 before exemptions. On an $800,000 taxable value, that’s roughly $14,149 a year, or about $1,179 a month. Then check two more things:

  • Special improvement district: Bexar County’s 2026 list includes a Boerne Stage Road SID at $0.562880. The district’s own notice says its rate is capped at the lesser of $1.00 or the City of San Antonio’s rate. I couldn’t confirm from the district’s public documents which plats it covers. Ask the builder in writing whether your homesite is inside it. If it is, that rate would add about $4,503 a year on an $800,000 value.
  • Emergency services district: Bexar County lists several ESDs. The appraisal record shows whether one applies.

Exemptions help once you live there. Texas school districts must exempt $140,000 of a homestead’s value, and Bexar County and the Hospital District list 20% homestead exemptions. File with the Bexar Appraisal District, not Kendall. Here’s how to file a homestead exemption on a Bexar County new build and why new-build payments often rise after the first year.


What Should You Do Before Reserving a Homesite?

  1. Register with your own agent. Sales counselors represent the builder. Bring your buyer’s agent on the first visit, before you sign a registration card.
  2. Compare the two builders line by line. Same community, different standard features, lot sizes, and incentives. Price comparable square footage, not just the “from” number.
  3. Ask about phase timing. Both builders were advertising an upcoming phase. A to-be-built home on a new phase can take months, so line up your rate-lock plan and lease end date. See how long a San Antonio-area build takes.
  4. Ask about water, wastewater, and the HOA. Get the provider names, the HOA budget and dues, and any deed restrictions on fences, pools, and outbuildings for a half-acre lot.
  5. Inspect independently. Schedule pre-drywall and final inspections even on a new home. Here’s why that matters in Texas.
  6. Plan the loan early. VA’s program overview says there’s no VA loan limit if you have full entitlement, but your lender still has to approve the amount and the appraisal has to support the price. See VA loans on new construction.
