Overview

§ 01

PRICE + CONDITION = A+ Hard to find 4 BED/4 BATH w/superb BEACH VIEWS at this price! Original owners - never a rental. Short-Term Rental Tax is NOT APPLICABLE in this area of Freeport, TX! Flood Zone AE rather than VE. Owner care is evident. Bright kitchen, cabinets galore, granite counters, reverse osmosis, and a huge island make cooking and entertaining a breeze. Three bedrooms are ensuite. Luxury vinyl plank floors run throughout - NO carpet. Vaulted ceilings and coastal-inspired color palette w/ beachy VIBES. Exterior shower head and foot wash are just steps from the staircase and keep sand from trekking upstairs. Louvered and insulated storage area houses the water well and water softener.

Views to the beach are perfection and colorful sunsets paint the sky each evening. Recent water heater. Address aka 4539 County Road 257.

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.
