Overview

§ 01

This canal-front home in Bayou Vista puts you steps from the water with a private jet ski and boat lift, boat slip, and pier — ready to fish, cruise, or just watch the sunset from the covered patio. The kitchen features a gas cooktop, double ovens, and a pot filler, opening to a bright living area with high ceilings and crown molding. The primary suite includes a jetted tub, separate shower, and walk-in closet, all on the main floor. Storm-ready extras include impact windows, electric storm shutters, and a Generac generator — peace of mind built in. Unwind in the backyard hot tub after a day on the water, and add in a cargo lift up to help get all your goods to the main living area with ease. Built in 2014, 3BR/2BA on a fenced waterfront lot with automatic driveway gate.

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.
