Overview

§ 01

Enjoy true waterfront living with private canal access and a boat lift right outside. This spacious home features an open floor plan where living, dining, and kitchen flow together—perfect for big family gatherings. Sip shaded morning coffee on the back deck while watching the water. The main living areas offer generous room to entertain, while the ground level (not included in the square footage) includes a mini-split HVAC system and a full bathroom. An elevator lift and paved rear entrance provide convenient handicapped access. Spanish Grant is golf-cart friendly and just minutes from the beach. At this entrance the beach is driveable with easy parking. The community does not allow short-term rentals and this street is filled with year-round residents, creating a welcoming neighborhood with real life and style—yet only minutes from the Strand. A rare opportunity to own canal-front living in one of Galveston’s most desirable residential communities.

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.
