Tax Rate Analysis

The proposed tax rate for 2024 is $0.32661 per $100 of property value, a slight decrease from last year’s rate of $0.32782 per $100. This represents a 0.36% decrease in the overall rate.

  • Average appraised residence value increased from $210,732 last year to $228,228 this year.
  • For an average homestead, the tax bill would increase from $552.65 to $596.33, reflecting a 7.9% increase in actual taxes paid.

If the proposed rate increases taxes on the average homestead by more than 3.5%, an election may be required unless the adopted rate stays below the voter-approval rate of $0.32661.

Water Main Repair – March 12, 2024

A Fry Road MUD water main has broken resulting in reduced pressures throughout the neighborhood.

Inframark is in the process of isolating the break so that repairs can be made ASAP. Once the broken section of water main is isolated, a construction crew will be able to excavate down to expose the line, assess the damage, and make whatever repairs are necessary.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while Fry Road MUD and Inframark work as safely and quickly as possible to maintain our community’s infrastructure.

It’s time for Freeze Preparedness

The Fry Road MUD’s “General Winter Preparedness for Cold Weather” documents offer vital guidelines for residents to prepare for freezing weather conditions expected across Texas. It emphasizes the importance of safeguarding “the Four P’s”: People, pets, pipes, and plants.

Residents are advised to monitor weather updates and take necessary precautions, including turning off and draining irrigation systems to prevent damage. This proactive approach ensures the community’s safety and preparedness for the cold weather challenges ahead.

Water Main Repairs Completed

The broken water main was located and the area isolated this morning. Repairs have been completed and pressure has been restored throughout the water distribution system. You may notice an increased presence of Inframark vehicles in the area while the mainlines are flushed to ensure water quality is maintained.

If you experience water quality issues, please flush your home’s line via the outside spigot closest to your water meter for 15 mins or just until the water is clear. If your water quality issues persist after 15 mins, please reach out to Inframark directly at (281) 398-8211 and a technician will be dispatched to your location to investigate further.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while Fry Rd MUD and Inframark work as safely and quickly as possible to maintain our community’s infrastructure.
