Overview

§ 01

Featured on the 2013 Galveston Historic Homes Tour, the 1886 Lang House is a beautifully restored Victorian blending exceptional craftsmanship with modern amenities. Located in Galveston's coveted East End Historic District, the home offers timeless architecture and contemporary comfort. The chef's kitchen features a Bertazzoni range, 48-inch refrigerator, soapstone and marble countertops, custom soapstone sink, pot filler, wine refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and Perrin & Rowe fixtures. Original hardwood floors, restored pocket doors, elegant woodwork, decorative cast-iron hardware, antique gasoliers in the parlors, and a gas-lit front porch preserve the home's historic character. Updates include electrical, plumbing, split-system HVAC, and luxurious bathrooms. Multiple porches overlook the grounds with a cast-iron fountain, creating a private outdoor retreat. A detached garage provides valuable off-street parking.

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.
