County record for {{lot_address}}: {{mud_district}}, and what that adds to your tax bill

Our county record lists {{mud_district}} for {{lot_address}}, and a MUD, or municipal utility district, is a local taxing district that supplies water, sewer and drainage and adds its own tax line to your property bill.

Hi {{first_name}}, Montgomery County has a large number of them, and some lots sit inside one while the lot next door does not.

What it does for you

Water and sewer service at or near your lot, so you may not need a well and septic.
Drainage and sometimes road maintenance in the district.

What it costs you

A district tax rate, added to the county and school taxes on your bill.
Water and sewer fees for service.
A tap or connection fee when the house is built.

The district has bonds it pays off through those taxes. A new district can carry a higher rate than an older one. Check the rate on your actual statement, and ask the district what it charges to connect.

From the county record on your lot

Lot	{{lot_address}}
Acres	{{acres}}
MUD district	{{mud_district}}
Utilities on record	{{utilities_on_record}}

The decision

Look at your latest tax statement. A MUD shows as a separate line. If you see one, call the district and ask for the tap fee and whether service reaches your lot line. If you see none, your lot likely needs a well and septic, which is next email.

Have me check your lot
