Overview

Inside Savannah

Savannah is a Huffines Communities master plan on the north side of US 380 in Denton County. It is not a city: it is an unincorporated census-designated place of 6,529 residents (2020), and the whole community sits inside the Elm Ridge Water Control and Improvement District. Amenities include a private water park, lakes, trails and a large clubhouse, and Savannah Elementary is inside the neighborhood. 2026 listings for 2004 to 2008 homes ran from about $294,000 to $350,000.

The lesson here is how an unincorporated community is funded. There is no city property tax, but the water control district levies its own tax and provides water and sewer, and the county handles roads and law enforcement outside the district's role. When you compare Savannah with a home inside a nearby city, I put both full tax bills side by side so you compare the real monthly cost, not just the price.
