Bond debt outstanding — FY2025

$54,470,000 tax-supported (no revenue-supported debt) — principal outstanding as reported by the Bond Review Board.

About $38,440 of that debt per parcel inside this district.

FY2025 tax-supported principal divided by the 1,417 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.

15-year history, total principal outstanding:

Peak: $63,465,000 in FY2022.

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.
