Overview

§ 01

Exceptional redevelopment opportunity in the heart of West Columbia! Situated on approximately 0.59 acres with visibility near Highway 35, 444 E. Clay St offers tremendous potential for investors, developers, business owners, or those seeking a prime land acquisition in a rapidly growing corridor. The true value of this property is in the land and location. Positioned near major roadway expansion and ongoing area growth, this oversized lot provides flexibility for future residential redevelopment, commercial use potential, or long-term investment hold. The property’s generous accessibility, and proximity to local businesses, schools, and downtown West Columbia make it an attractive opportunity for a variety of future uses. With increasing development activity throughout the area and limited large-lot opportunities available this close to Highway 35, this property is ideally positioned for buyers looking to capitalize on future growth and expansion.

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.
