Overview

§ 01

13 heavily wooded acres! Private road with no through traffic. Exceptionally quiet country living, but just minutes from town. 2 dry creeks on the property. There is small cabin with two loft beds that is about 90% complete, it needs to have utilities ran to it. There's also hookups for a travel trailer on the west side of the property. There is a small workshop (12x20) that's insulated, heated and air conditioned, as well as an open air shop with a 10x20 enclosed storage building attached to it. Also, foundation forms and rebar are set in place for a much larger 20 ft by 36 ft future shop. The property is a mix of dense woods with tall trees and open meadows. There are large pecan trees and also a mix of ash, cedar elm, live oak, post oak, wild plum, Chinaberry and Juniper Cedar. Along with a variety of wildflowers and other native plants. It's great bottomland soil good for gardening or raising small livestock.

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.
