Overview

§ 01

Experience a sense of seclusion on a corner lot. An extra-wide staircase greets you at the entryway, leading up to the main floor, which features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom includes patio doors that open onto a back deck overlooking the canal. The second bathroom is fitted with double sinks and a tub/shower combination. The family room is open to the kitchen, and patio doors provide access to a spacious back deck with stunning views of the water—some of the best that Hide-Away on the Gulf has to offer. The kitchen is equipped with solid-wood cabinets and an adjacent utility room. Additionally, the Intracoastal Waterway is just minutes away by boat.

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.
