Overview

§ 01

Independence Heights, minutes from the Heights with quick access to 610 and 45, and no HOA. Built in 2023 and upgraded well beyond its age. Real oak hardwoods, custom shutters, and an opened-up staircase give the main floor room to breathe, with built-in surround sound throughout. The kitchen runs on quartz counters, soft close shaker cabinetry, a gas range, walk-in pantry, and an island with seating. Upstairs, the primary suite holds a private balcony, soaking tub, separate shower, and double sinks. The upgrades continue where most buyers never look: a fully insulated crawl space wired with lighting and outlets. Outside, professional-grade turf covers the side and back yards, and a substantially widened concrete driveway adds the kind of off-street parking you rarely find this close to the loop.

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.
