Bond debt outstanding — FY2025
$25,820,000 tax-supported (no revenue-supported debt) — principal outstanding as reported by the Bond Review Board.
About $7,371 of that debt per parcel inside this district.
FY2025 tax-supported principal divided by the 3,503 parcels whose location falls inside the district's TCEQ boundary. Two things this is not: it isn't a bill — district bonds are repaid over decades out of the tax rate above, not owed by any owner directly; and it isn't per household — commercial tracts, vacant lots and reserves are parcels too, so a district still filling in reads higher than it will once the homes are built.

What this district is
A water district is a unit of local government under the Texas Water Code — not an HOA. Many district types levy property taxes or charge for water and sewer service; the district itself is the authority on its current rates. The officer of record above is the registry's contact for it.
The HOA Book reports the state's own files here: TCEQ's registry, the Comptroller's special-district tax rates, and the Bond Review Board's debt data — the way our Colorado district pages report levies. Certified filings, never estimates; where a file doesn't cover this district, the page says so instead of guessing.
Watch this district. Rates and debt are re-reported every year. Leave an email and we'll send one plain message — only when this district's tax rate or bond debt changes in the state's files, with the old number and the new one. No newsletter, nothing else.
