Property tax rate — 2025
For the 2025 tax year, the appraisal district did not provide this district's adopted rates to the Comptroller — the state's own file marks it unreported. We show that fact rather than a number that doesn't exist.

Bond debt outstanding — FY2025

What this district is
A Municipal Utility District is a unit of local government — not an HOA. It has its own elected board, and it levies its own property tax to repay the bonds that built the neighborhood's water, sewer, and drainage. That's the district line on the tax bill. Texas Water Code §49.452 requires a seller inside a MUD to give the buyer notice of the district and its taxes before closing.
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.
