Overview

§ 01

Investment opportunity in a prime Houston location! This property is being sold strictly AS-IS for lot value only. The existing structure has sustained fire damage to the rear portion of the home, and no interior access will be provided. Please do not attempt to enter the structure. Showings are limited to exterior viewing only. Ideally located just minutes from the University of Houston and directly across the street from the Homer Ford Tennis Center, this property offers excellent redevelopment potential. Whether you're looking to build a new home or explore the possibility of a major renovation, this is a rare opportunity in a highly desirable area. While the existing structure may be salvageable with an extensive remodel, the property is being marketed and priced for its land value. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding future use and development possibilities. Ready now

§ 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.
