Overview

§ 01

Ranch land! This is a perfect location in Martin's Mill ISD to build a home and have cattle or horses. Plenty of room, and there's a slight elevation for a homesite that would overlook one of the ponds. Close to Canton and Ben Wheeler, 25 minutes to Tyler. If you want to escape the big city, it's about an hour drive to Dallas. It would also be great ranch property for cattle grazing with 2 ponds. This 46 acre tract can be easily cross fenced with a pond on each part. It is currently high fenced on two sides, barb wire fenced at the road frontage and partial fencing on the south side. Or just use for hay production. Ag exemptions current.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
