Can I use a reverse mortgage to buy a home in Round Rock?

Yes - it's called HECM for Purchase (H4P). You bring a down payment of roughly 45 - 65% (depending on your age and current rates), the reverse mortgage covers the balance, and you never make a monthly mortgage payment on the new home.

Do Williamson County property taxes work the same as Travis County for a HECM?

Yes. Williamson County also offers the over-65 school-tax ceiling and the standard over-65 exemption. Keeping property taxes and homeowners insurance current is a HECM requirement in both counties.
