Fort Bend County MUD 23

NEW! Receive Important updates

Fort Bend County M.U.D. No. 23 is located within Fort Bend County, Fort Bend I.S.D., and the City of Houston extra-territorial jurisdiction. It was created February 15, 1978, and currently encompasses 1301 acres containing approximately 3,900 single family homes, three elementary schools, and multiple retail establishments.

M.U.D. 23 has five board members whom are all property owners and live in the district. Two Directors live in Teal Run, one lives in the Estates of Teal Run and two live in Teal Run North. The board meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the offices of our attorney. Our fiscal year runs January 1-December 31. The property tax rate for 2011 is $1.03 per $100 valuation. This rate is down from a high of $1.80 in 1992. Based on the tax rate, annual M.U.D. taxes for a home valued by the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District at $100,000 would be $1,030. For most of us with mortgages, these taxes are paid by the mortgage company from our escrow account.

The total amount of bonds AUTHORIZED by voters since creation of the district is $90 million. The amount of bonds ISSUED to date is approximately $55 million. When bonds are issued, that means the district actually SELLS that amount in bonds, receives the proceeds to pay for infrastructure construction, and then begins making debt service payments to repay the amount sold. We have the authority to issue up to $90 million, but at this time we have only issued and incurred debt on $55 million.

WATERLINE FLUSHING NOTICE

Flushing of the District's water lines will be performed February 27, 28, 29 and March 1, 2012. The flushing will continue until all of the water lines have been flushed. We will begin at 8 AM on February 27th and continue throughout the day until 4 PM on each of the 4 above dates. During this flushing program you may experience some discoloration in the water. This discoloration is caused by natural sediment in the water mainlines that is being flushed out of the system.

We suggest you refrain from washing clothing during these 4 days due to the possibility of sediment in the lines. Before washing clothes, make sure the water is clear. The adding of chlorine bleach while washing clothes could make any discoloration problems worse.

The District will not be responsible for damages to clothing, etc.

Should you experience discoloration of the water at any time after the flushing program has been completed, please do not hesitate to contact the District's Operator, Municipal District Services at (281) 290-6503.
