Overview

§ 01

Step into Galveston history at "Lady Katherine," a beautifully restored 1903 Victorian in the heart of the Lost Bayou Historic District. Rebuilt after the Great Storm of 1900, this remarkable home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful modern updates. Rich hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, stained glass, spacious living areas, and inviting porches create an atmosphere of warmth and character. The versatile floor plan offers multiple living and flex spaces that adapt beautifully to today's lifestyle—ideal for remote work, creative studios, tutoring, or other home-based business uses (subject to local regulations). The generous layout also lends itself well to those seeking space for in-home childcare or multigenerational living. Just minutes from the Strand, UTMB, beaches, restaurants, and the Seawall, Lady Katherine is more than a home—she is a piece of Galveston's story waiting for her next chapter.

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.
