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
3,500 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 6:30 p.m. in the offices of our attorney. Our fiscal year
runs January 1-December 31. The property tax rate for 2009 is $1.00 per $100
valuation. This rate is down from a high
of $1.80 in 1992. Based on the 2009 tax rate, annual M.U.D. taxes for a home
valued by the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District at $100,000 would be $1,000.
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.
