Overview

§ 01

What a view from the 400 sq ft veranda of this beautiful Penthouse condo! Inside, "Dancing Mermaid" is a lovely 2nd floor, 2/2 unit that has 1300 sq ft of living space with 12 ft ceilings, crown molding, wood-look tile throughout, custom cabinets, granite counters, two full baths, full-size washer/dryer in the unit, and stainless appliances. Both the living room and primary bedroom have a wall of windows that overlook the veranda, pool, and Gulf. The shabby chic, coastal decor, and furnishings remain. This condo is currently a successful vacation rental, but is large enough for full-time living. Maravilla amenities include 3 pools (one heated fall thru spring), fitness center, pet park, and dog washing area. Located close to all things fun, such as Schlitterbahn, Moody Gardens, golf, putt-putt, go-karts, fishing and dining. Within minutes to West Beach or the Historic Strand District.

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.
