Overview

§ 01

A rare opportunity in peaceful Timberlake Estates! Lovingly owned by the same family since 1962, this ranch-style home sits on a nearly half-acre corner lot surrounded by mature trees. Renovated in 2008, the open, welcoming layout offers generous living and dining spaces, a spacious breakfast room, and a kitchen with abundant cabinetry and storage. A step-down walk-in pantry includes a freezer that stays with the home. No carpet throughout, with tile and engineered wood flooring. Outside, the expansive backyard features a pergola-covered patio, paved walkway to a workshop/storage building, and plenty of room for a future pool, garden or outdoor recreation. Per seller, home has never flooded. Enjoy a tranquil, established neighborhood with a stocked fishing pond and community events throughout the year. Zoned to CFISD, with Millsap Elementary just outside the neighborhood and convenient access to Arnold Middle and Cy-Fair High. Refrigerator, washer and dryer stay. Priced to sell!

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.
