Overview

§ 01

Big yard, flexible layout, and everyday convenience come together in this Forest Heights home. Built in 2020 with 2,199 square feet, it sits on one of the largest lots in the community, across from a stocked retention pond, near the neighborhood playground, Hood Case Elementary, and G.W. Harby Junior High. Inside, the kitchen, breakfast area, and living room flow together around a spacious island with granite countertops, creating the center of the home. A formal dining room near the entry can serve as a home office, playroom, or extra living space, while a half bath is convenient for guests. The main level primary suite offers double sinks, a soaking tub, separate shower, and walk in closet. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an open flex space for homework, hobbies, or a second living area. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers plenty of room for pets, play, gardening, and gatherings. If space and flexibility are on your list, this one deserves a closer look.

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.
