Overview

§ 01

This home combines generous room sizes with numerous recent improvements. The primary bedroom was renovated in November 2024 with new drywall and tile flooring, creating a comfortable & inviting retreat. Updated tile flooring was also installed in the main living area in 2024, adding both style and durability. Major system upgrades include a new roof with fascia and chimney flashing (Nov 2024), an upgraded water heater (Feb 2024), new electrical service with a main breaker panel & upgraded breakers (Feb 2025), & a new electrical subpanel & wiring for mini split system (Aug 2025). For year-round comfort, new 55,000 BTU mini-split/heating systems were installed upstairs and downstairs in August 2025. Outside, approximately 75% of the fencing has been replaced with an 8-foot privacy fence, enhancing seclusion & functionality. Situated on nearly half an acre, the property offers ample outdoor space for entertaining, recreation, gardening, or future improvements.

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.
