Overview

§ 01

Circa 1879 two story Victorian famous for being in the 1900 Hurricane aftermath photo of the three surviving houses in this area. (Copy of photo in attachments) The house for many decades has been a triplex and for the last 20 years as a single family home with convenient kitchens (coffee bars) upstairs. House does need updating and an extensive inspection report is available. Beautiful Greek Revival woodwork, tall baseboards, chair rails and/or wainscoting throughout the house. There is an upstairs back deck and back exterior staircase to access the upstairs units if a subsequent buyer wanted to put the units back into long term or short term rentals. Located in the East End Historical District on one of the most well maintained blocks in the neighborhood. It is an Estate selling, but everything has been settled. There is a pre-listing inspection report available for review.

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.
