Without a homestead exemption on the property (only available if it is the owner's primary residence) the tax rate will be approximately 2.7% (I looked this up on the Williamson County Assessor's site and it depends on the MUD, Hospital District and School District you fall into) which would be $4,050/year or $337.5/month (this may not get reassessed until next year since it is a new build and this is assuming that you will get a valuation of only the $150k not the appraised value of $168k).
