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.
