Water Districts in Texas are becoming a big deal. Sadly, most people have no idea that they even exist. Many property owners are in a district and have no idea.
This note isn’t intended to explain to you what they are, how they work or how they tax property owners. It’s just a reminder that buyers need to know before they buy property if they are in a water district. Don’t say, “Oh, my REALTOR will tell me.” Most REALTORS don’t know. According to the state and the state promulgated sales contract, it is up to the buyer to determine.
As a property owner, you may not care if you’re in a water district. In many cases, it’s not any big deal. However, don’t you want to know before you invest? When something changes and your bill goes up or you get an unexpected bill, that’s not the time to learn that you’re in a water district. The following link will allow you to look at a map and determine if you’re in a district and if so, which one. I hope it helps you out!
