Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 261 (“HCMUD 261” or “MUD 261”), through the dedication of its Directors and Consultants, is committed to providing the highest quality services at the most economical costs to its customers and taxpayers.
Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 261 is scheduled to hold a public hearing regarding the proposed tax rate for the tax year 2024. The details of the meeting are as follows:
The proposed tax rate for this year is $0.4293 per $100 of assessed property value, reflecting a decrease from last year’s rate of $0.4508 per $100.
This change represents a reduction of 4.77% in the tax rate.
Despite this reduction in the rate, due to an increase in average property values from $395,256 to $429,521, the actual taxes on an average residence homestead would increase by $62.12, or 3.49%.
For those interested in the detailed implications of the proposed tax rate on their property taxes or wishing to attend the public hearing, further information can be found by visiting the local property tax database at Texas.gov/PropertyTaxes. This database offers access to information regarding your property taxes, proposed tax rates, and schedules for upcoming public hearings.
The hearing will provide an opportunity for residents to voice their opinions either for or against the proposed rate. It is an important event for taxpayers within the Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 261, as it directly affects property taxation and community funding for the upcoming year.
