Save on utility bills with EcoSmart Solution
At Whisper Valley, affordability extends beyond the purchase price. Thanks to the EcoSmart Solution, every home in the community is powered by the natural energy of the Earth, which significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 70 percent. Paired with solar PV installed on every home and energy-efficient home appliances, homeowners can achieve zero energy capable living depending on personal energy behavior.
This means lower utility bills every month, giving you more room in your budget for what matters most. Plus, choosing a zero energy capable home isn’t just good for your wallet — it’s a choice that benefits the planet, too.
Tax benefits
Another perk of owning a green home in Whisper Valley? The ability to claim federal renewable energy tax credits. New homebuyers can take advantage of a 30 percent tax credit on the value of their home’s solar and geothermal systems, helping to offset the initial investment in these energy-efficient technologies.
The total system value depends on the size of the home and its renewable energy system, but homeowners could see tax credits ranging from $6,000 to $10,000.
Beyond energy savings, Whisper Valley homeowners also benefit from valuable property tax exemptions that can further reduce their cost of living.
Because Whisper Valley is located within a Public Improvement District (PID), homeowners are exempt from City of Austin ad valorem taxes, which can result in significant annual savings. Instead, Whisper Valley homeowners pay a PID assessment, which is not affected by property value and the amount owed does not increase over time even if your property value increases. This protects homeowners from paying rising city taxes until the PID is paid off.
Residents may also qualify for additional Travis County property tax exemptions based on the market value of their home, providing even more financial relief.
