Property taxes

Stafford property taxes by utility district

Many Stafford neighborhoods inside the city limits also sit in a municipal utility district (MUD), levee improvement district or similar district, and neighborhoods outside the city rely on one for water, sewer and drainage. Each district sets its own tax, which is the main reason total tax rates differ from one neighborhood to the next; county, school and other rates are largely shared.

Why do Stafford neighborhoods have MUD taxes?

Developers create municipal utility districts to build the water, sewer and drainage a new neighborhood needs, and homeowners repay those bonds through the district's tax, including in many neighborhoods the city later annexed. Sellers must give buyers a MUD notice; see MUD disclosure in Texas.
