Overview

§ 01

Inside the City of Katy, this single-story ranch offers the freedom of no HOA, low taxes, and no MUD tax, all in a location close to the places that make Katy feel like home. Fresh paint and tile flooring run throughout, while the granite kitchen with subway tile backsplash and stainless steel appliances opens to the living area for an easy, connected layout. A formal dining room adds space for meals, entertaining, or a home office. Outside, the generous backyard is framed by mature shade trees, and the wide side gate creates convenient access for RVs, trailer, boats, or recreational storage. Enjoy quick access to Historic Downtown Katy, Mary Jo Peckham Park, Katy City Park, Katy Heritage Park, Katy Mills, I-10, and the Grand Parkway. Zoned to Hutsell Elementary, Katy Junior High, and Katy High School, 1609 Heights Drive puts you in the heart of the City of Katy with no HOA, no MUD tax, a spacious backyard, and room for RV, trailer, boat, or recreational storage.

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.
