Overview

§ 01

Built in 1907 by Morris Stern, This Grand Neoclassical Mansion has a History and a Past! Known for its Original Woodwork and Gorgeous Wood Floors, Amazing Hardware and Copious Stained-Glass Windows, this Home's Construction was an Iconic Example of Post-Disaster Recovery after the Great Hurricane of 1900 - Built to Withstand Anything with Concrete Block Construction! A White Pediment Crowns the Front Door, Flanked by Two-Story, Double Corinthian Columns - Having Undergone Extensive Renovations, Too Numerous to List Here and a Second Floor Reconfiguration for Contemporary Living Standards, this Stately Mansion is Better than Ever, While Retaining Its Old-World Charm. A Large Circular Drive and Completely Renovated Large Pool Insure an Impressive Setting! Very Recent HVAC, Roof and Appliances! Owned by Robert Neal, a friend of the Kennedys, JFK and Brother Robert Stayed at this Residence while in Office, and it was known as the "Rat Pack Party House".

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.
