Overview

§ 01

Step back in time with this charming home located in the heart of downtown Bellville. Austin County Appraisal District records reflect the earliest recorded deed dated January 1, 1900, while tax records list the improvement year as 1960. Architectural details and local accounts suggest the home may date back earlier. Buyers should verify historical information. Double corner lot, the home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, central A/C and heat, and hardwood floors believed to be original. A recent roof (approx. 3 years old) adds peace of mind. The property also includes a separate GUEST HOUSE, 15’ x 15’ w/ full kitchen, full bath, private porch, and its own street entrance, ideal for guests, office, or rental potential. Enjoy relaxing on the spacious back decks overlooking the large backyard, plus convenient side-entry carport parking. Located just steps from downtown Bellville and across from a church, this property offers character, flexibility, & small-town Texas charm.

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.
