Overview

§ 01

Well maintained waterfront home with 300 ft long pier (WOW) replaced 2026 and an outdoor lift, accessible ground-2nd floor. Major 2026 updates include a replaced roof, replaced HVAC, and storm windows installed throughout, providing peace of mind for years to come. A mini-split system was installed approximately 2 years ago, and the kitchen appliances are approximately 5 years old.

The kitchen features durable Formica countertops with coordinating Formica backsplash and wall accents for a cohesive look.

An additional primary suite was added by a previous owner, providing valuable extra living space. Please note: according to the seller, this room is not included in the appraisal district’s reported square footage of approximately 1,400 SF. Buyers should verify measurements independently.

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.
