According to 3 different stores I went to today, the cashiers all said the porter and most Montgomery sales tax was raised to 8.25 from 7.50 cents in dec 2012. According to all three my receipts and a calculator they are correct...never knew it went up....LOL 4951

Montgomery county is ranked as one of the fastest growing counties in the country. They have to keep up with essential services for all that growth, so it does not surprise me. 4951

@TexasTideFan: whats wrong with them coming here to trick or treat...I don't mind, Being I lived in Willis for a long time, I know how hard it is to find places to go door to door in more country like areas....I would prefer the drivers park someplace and walk though.

@Burnsway: Nothing, if they are in costume and not over 16.  But it's an invasion.

@TexasTideFan:
Yes maybe they will. Also maybe one day real soon east Montgomery county/ Porter/ New Caney area will dwarf Kingwood in size/ population and then we can say those folks in Kingwood can trick or treat in there own neighborhood, also!

As far as I can tell the property and school taxes are still way lower, probably why it's growing...LOL. I know Willis population trippled if not more in the 8 years I was there.
 
Also after looking a few things up some communities are swallowing the difference and did not raise taxes like panorama village is Montgomery county just outside Willis and its still 7.25. There were a few other communities so some stores may be doing the same in porter....wasn't gonna hit them all and ask....lol
 
I still like the porter Wal-Mart better than humble and atascocitas , as they seem to have more clearance so I always hit it when I have to go to the tractor supply store.
 
The help and staff in porters home depot seems better also so we usually do their free wood workshops for my kid there instead of kingwood.
