Kallison Ranch is a master-planned new construction community in far northwest San Antonio, off Culebra Road outside Loop 1604, next to Government Canyon State Natural Area. Meritage Homes and Perry Homes both build there, and on October 25 Meritage listed homes from $375,990 while Perry listed its 45′ homes from the $430s. Bexar County plat records place the community in San Antonio’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, so there’s no City of San Antonio property tax. Here’s what to check on price, taxes, schools, and the lot before you sign.

Where Is Kallison Ranch, and Is It Inside San Antonio City Limits?
No. Bexar County Commissioners Court agendas approving Kallison Ranch plats describe the units as within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of San Antonio and not within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The community sits in Bexar County Precinct 2.
- Location: Off Culebra Road west of Loop 1604, along Kallison Bend. Meritage describes it as near Loop 1604 and Highway 151 and adjacent to Government Canyon State Natural Area
- Directions: Perry Homes’ directions say to exit Culebra Road from Loop 1604 West, drive about 6 miles on Culebra to Kallison Bend, turn right for about 1.5 miles, then turn right on Cowboy Rig
- Sales offices: Meritage lists 9706 Rosette Place, San Antonio, TX 78254. Perry Homes lists 9714, 9718, and 9722 Rosette Place for its three lot-size series
- Builders on plats: County agendas from 2019 and 2021 list Perry Homes as the owner of record on several Kallison Ranch units
Because it’s in the ETJ, the county, not the city, handles much of the platting and road oversight. Confirm the exact tax jurisdictions for your lot before you sign.
Who Builds in Kallison Ranch, and What Do Homes Cost?
Here is what each builder’s own website showed on October 25:
| Builder / Series | Listed Starting Price | Listed Size |
| Meritage Homes | From $375,990 | About 1,522–2,935 sq ft |
| Perry Homes, 45′ lots | From the $430s | About 1,900–2,800 sq ft |
| Perry Homes, 50′ lots | From the $490s | About 2,200–3,600 sq ft |
| Perry Homes, 60′ lots | From the $590s | About 2,600–4,100 sq ft |
Meritage’s plans range from the Briscoe at about 1,522 square feet to the Reynolds at about 2,935 square feet. Perry splits the community by lot width, so the same plan can cost more on a wider lot.
Prices, incentives, and quick move-in inventory change often, so treat this as a snapshot. Get the final price, lot premium, and any incentive in writing. Then compare any builder-lender offer against an outside lender on total cost, not just the rate. For more on that, see the new construction financing guide.
What Is the Property Tax Rate in Kallison Ranch?
Bexar County publishes official 2026 rates for every taxing unit. Because Kallison Ranch is in the ETJ, the City of San Antonio’s $0.56288 rate does not apply. A home there would typically pay these units (per $100 of value):
| Taxing Unit | 2026 Rate |
| Northside ISD | $1.034900 |
| Bexar County | $0.285963 |
| University Health (Hospital District) | $0.276235 |
| Alamo Community College District | $0.166650 |
| San Antonio River Authority | $0.019300 |
| Bexar County Road and Flood | $0.014036 |
| Emergency Services District (varies) | $0.073801–$0.100000 |
Those units add up to about $1.80 per $100 before an ESD, or roughly $1.87 to $1.90 with one. Unincorporated areas are generally served by an emergency services district, and Bexar County’s ESD rates range from $0.073801 to $0.10. Check your lot’s tax certificate or the Bexar Appraisal District record to see which ESD and any other districts apply.
Two more things to know:
- The school rate is on the ballot: Northside ISD adopted its $1.0349 rate on August 11, 2026. Because it exceeds the voter-approval rate, a ratification election is set for November 3, 2026
- Homestead exemption: School districts give a $140,000 homestead exemption, so file once you own and live in the home
Your first tax bill on a new build is often based on the lot alone, so plan for the payment to rise. See property taxes in San Antonio for how protests and exemptions work.
What Amenities and Schools Does Kallison Ranch Have?
Meritage lists a community pool, playgrounds, a fishing pond with a pier, a dog park, and an onsite elementary school. Government Canyon State Natural Area, a Texas Parks and Wildlife site with hiking trails, sits next door.
The community is in Northside ISD. Perry Homes lists Henderson Elementary, Joe Straus III Middle School, and Harlan High School. Attendance zones can change as the district grows, so check your exact address with NISD’s school locator before you count on a campus.
What Should You Check Before Signing a Kallison Ranch Contract?
- Register your agent on the first visit: Most builders require your agent to be with you, or registered, at your first sales office visit
- HOA dues and rules: Ask for the current dues, any transfer or capital fees, and the deed restrictions before you sign
- Utility providers: Ask which water, sewer, and electric providers serve your section, since ETJ areas can differ from inside city limits
- Flood and drainage: Look up the lot on FEMA’s flood map and ask about drainage easements behind the lot
- Warranty: Read the builder’s written warranty. Perry and Meritage use different documents, so compare coverage periods and the claim process
- Inspections: Hire an independent inspector for pre-drywall and final inspections., even on a brand-new home
