Overview

§ 01

Owner Agent. Great craftsman details in this 1920s bungalow. Please note that this is an unfinished project. Plans were to turn this into a true 3 bedroom/2 bath home. The floorplan has been reworked, but bathrooms have not been finished out. Plumbing and electrical are stubbed out. Kitchen has granite counters which can be utilized. Pantry roughed-in. Builder/owner is available to discuss plans and potential budget. Original 2-car garage and home sold as-is. Potential to build new garage w/apt with alley access. Full sized lot with beautiful, mature trees on a great block in the heart of the Houston Heights. Wonderful opportunity to finish this home to your specifications.

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.
