Overview

§ 01

Great new price adjustment. Seller says to sell the home furnished with the golf cart! This beach house is your chance to claim a true slice of paradise. Just 3 rows from the shoreline, it offers breathtaking sunset views and the soothing sound of the ocean. Lovingly maintained and never used as a rental, gives unforgettable coastal memories. Sitting on two spacious lots, the property has lots of room for RV and boat parking beneath the home. The oversized single garage is ideal for storing a golf cart, beach gear, and the fully fenced yard adds extra privacy. Heading upstairs there is a flex room or 3rd bedroom w/ a mini split. Once upstairs there is a generous bar, lounge area and an elevator—an entertainer’s dream. Inside, a wall of windows fills the open-concept kitchen and living room with natural light. The kitchen has an island with seating, stainless steel appliances, and seamless flow into the living space. A hallway leads to the laundry area, 2 beds, and 2 baths.

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.
