Two homes at one price, two different payments

Celina has a lot of new construction going at the same time. When I checked NewHomeSource in October 2026, it showed 42 community listings with Celina 75009 addresses, from Pulte's Pinnacle at Legacy Hills at $309,990 to Huntington Homes' 100 ft lots at Mustang Lakes at $1,535,000. Builders compete hard here, and that works in the buyer's favor.

The catch is that the list price is only part of the cost. The City of Celina's PID page lists 31 districts, each with its own yearly installment per lot, and some communities pay a MUD tax instead. Two homes at the same price can differ by roughly $300 to $400 a month once a PID is added. On top of that, some Celina addresses are in Celina ISD and others in Prosper ISD.

I've spent more than ten years in construction and remodeling. On a Celina build I check the grading and drainage on the lot, the slab and the framing before drywall, and I pull the PID service plan for the lot before we talk price.

Before you sign

What to check on a Celina lot

01  Get the PID numbers for your lot

Ask for the service plan page that shows your lot type, the annual installment and the outstanding balance. Texas requires the seller to give a PID notice that you acknowledge before the contract takes effect (Property Code 5.014), and a MUD notice before you sign (Water Code 49.452).

02  Decide on a payoff with real numbers

Some owners prepay a PID balance. Compare the outstanding amount with what that money would do toward your down payment or rate, and ask your lender how each option changes the loan.

03  Confirm the school district and the campus

Celina ISD voters approved a $2.295 billion bond in May 2025 for 10 campuses. Willard Middle School opens for 2026-27, three elementaries are due by fall 2027 and a second high school is expected in 2029-30 or 2030-31, so zones will keep shifting. Check the <a href="/celina-isd-homes">Celina ISD</a> or <a href="/prosper-isd-homes">Prosper ISD</a> zone for the lot.

04  Write in inspections and read the builder's contract

Put pre-pour, pre-drywall and final inspections in writing, and read the builder's own form for earnest money, delays and low appraisals before choosing finishes.

05  Call your agent before the first model visit

Builder registration rules differ, and some only recognize an agent who registers you on that first visit.

In October 2026, NewHomeSource listings with Celina addresses started at $309,990 (Pinnacle at Legacy Hills) and ran to $1,535,000 (Huntington at Mustang Lakes). Most family communities sat between about $400,000 and $850,000 at base price. Add the PID or MUD, lot premium and options before you compare.
Which Celina new home communities are in Prosper ISD?
Light Farms, Mustang Lakes, Sutton Fields and Wellspring Estates are zoned to Prosper ISD, along with Mosaic and Lilyana, which use Prosper mailing addresses. Cross Creek Meadows, Ten Mile Creek, Cambridge Crossing, Ramble, Legacy Hills and Uptown Celina are in Celina ISD. Confirm the campus for the exact lot.
How much is the PID in Celina?
It depends on the community, phase and lot width. For 2026-27, a 60 ft lot pays $4,796.92 a year at Ten Mile Creek, $3,421.82 at Cross Creek Meadows and $1,790.58 in Legacy Hills Phase 1A. Ask for the service plan page for your lot before you sign.
Which Celina communities have a MUD?
On Collin CAD's records, Light Farms pays Collin County MUD No. 1 ($0.86 per $100 for 2026), Uptown Celina sections pay Uptown MUD No. 1 ($0.80), and some Legacy Hills sections pay North Parkway MMD No. 1 ($0.408). Read the MUD notice before you sign.
Is new construction in Celina a good deal right now?
With 42 community listings competing for the same buyers in October 2026, there is room to ask for a price cut, a rate buydown or closing costs. Compare the full monthly payment, PID included, against a resale nearby.
Can I pay off a PID when I buy?
Many PIDs allow prepayment, and the service plan shows the outstanding balance, for example $59,164 on a 60 ft Ten Mile Creek lot. Whether it makes sense depends on your cash, rate and how long you plan to stay. Ask the title company for a payoff figure before closing.
