Community Overview
- Developer: Southstar Communities. The Texas General Land Office owned the land and solicited proposals for its sale and development in 2019, and the City of New Braunfels approved a development agreement with Southstar in 2021
- Location: The city describes the site as east of FM 1102, west of FM 1101, south of Woods Path and Watson Lane East, and north of Kohlenberg Road, on both sides of I-35. The welcome center is at 5708 Guthrie Trail, reached from the I-35 northbound frontage road via Ford Trail
- City status: Mayfair sits in the New Braunfels extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Certain tracts are under limited-purpose annexation so the city can collect sales and use tax. Residential addresses in the ETJ normally show no city property tax line, but confirm the taxing units for the exact lot
- Home types: The developer plans single-family homes, townhomes, cottages, apartments, and single-family homes for lease

The Tax Picture: Water Improvement Districts
Mayfair uses Comal County Water Improvement District No. 3 sub-districts instead of a MUD. These districts fund roads, drainage, and other infrastructure with bonds repaid from property taxes. The cost of those facilities is not included in the price of your home.
| Taxing unit | 2026 adopted rate (per $100) |
| Comal County | $0.273000 |
| Comal County Lateral Road | $0.032015 |
| Comal ISD | $1.074800 |
| Comal County WID No. 3A | $0.950000 |
- Add it up: In WID No. 3A, these four rates total about $2.33 per $100 before exemptions, plus any emergency services district rate on the property’s Comal Appraisal District record. On a $400,000 taxable value, $2.33 per $100 is about $9,320 a year
- WID No. 3B: This sub-district, about 1,380 acres, had not levied a tax when this was written. That can change, so ask which district your lot is in and what rate is proposed
- Bonds: The WID No. 3A Notice to Purchaser shows voter-authorized road and recreational bonds and a contract tax for the Master District’s regional infrastructure. Texas law requires the seller to give you this notice before you sign a binding contract
- Exemptions: Texas school districts exempt $140,000 of a homestead’s value, which lowers the Comal ISD line. Ask your lender to estimate escrow with the exemptions you’ll qualify for
Schools, Utilities, and Amenities
- Schools: Comal ISD lists Mayfair Elementary at 5912 Guthrie Trail (opened fall 2025) and Dr. Jerry Major Middle School at 6004 Guthrie Trail (estimated fall 2027). Confirm campus assignments with Comal ISD, and use TEA report cards for school information
- Water and wastewater: The districts say New Braunfels Utilities manages water and wastewater service. Ask the builder which electric provider serves your lot
- HOA: The developer works with The Neighborhood Company to manage the HOA. Get current dues, any transfer fees, and the deed restrictions from the builder before you sign
- Parks and trails: Fairway Park, an 18-acre park, has an 18-hole disc golf course, a bike pump track, a playscape, and trails. The developer plans more than 300 acres of parks and open space and about 35 miles of trails
- Midtown Mayfair: The town square’s first phase includes a resident swim club, an open-air pavilion, and a welcome center with HOA offices
Step-by-Step: Buying New Construction in Mayfair
- Step 1, Pre-approval: Get pre-approved before touring models, and compare the builder’s preferred-lender incentive against an outside lender’s full rate and fee quote
- Step 2, Agent registration: Builder policies on agent registration vary. Bring your agent or register them at your first visit so you keep representation in the negotiation
- Step 3, Lot and district: Ask which WID sub-district the lot is in, read the Notice to Purchaser, and check the lot on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center
- Step 4, Contract: Builders usually use their own purchase agreements. Review deposit terms, completion dates, and the warranty before you sign
- Step 5, Inspections: Hire an independent inspector for pre-drywall and final inspections. City or county inspections don’t replace your own
- Step 6, VA buyers: The VA funding fee on first use is 2.15% with less than 5% down, 1.5% with 5% down, and 1.25% with 10% down. Veterans receiving VA disability compensation are generally exempt
- Step 7, Homestead: After closing, file Form 50-114 with the Comal Appraisal District. Veterans rated 100% disabled or individually unemployable may qualify for a total exemption under Texas Tax Code §11.131
