Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Rate – September 24, 2024
The Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 99 (MUD 99) is holding a public hearing on the proposed tax rate for the tax year 2024. This hearing will take place on September 24, 2024, at 12:30 PM at 2727 Allen Parkway, Suite 1100, Houston, Texas, or virtually at the provided link. This meeting is an important opportunity for residents to voice their opinions on the proposed tax changes.
Key Details About the Proposed Tax Rate
The proposed tax rate for 2024 remains unchanged at $1.0150 per $100 of value, consistent with last year’s rate. However, due to an increase in the average appraised value of homes, taxes on the average residence homestead are expected to rise. For instance, the average residence homestead taxable value has increased from $372,143 to $391,728, resulting in an annual increase of approximately $198.79, or 5.26%.
What Does This Mean for You?
The tax rate adoption will affect your taxes based on the change in your property’s appraised value compared to others. Depending on these changes, your taxes may increase, decrease, or remain the same.
Your Rights as a Taxpayer
Taxpayers have the right to petition for an election if the proposed tax rate causes taxes on the average homestead to increase by more than eight percent. This right is part of efforts to keep the growth of property taxes in check.
