HCMUD 18 Sets 2024 New Tax Rate

The Board of Directors of Harris County Municipal Utility District No.18 has lowered the District’s tax rate for the 2024 tax year.

The  2024 tax rate is now set at $0.31000 per $100 of assessed value.

This is a decrease of -3.66% from last year’s rate of $0.32177 per $100 of assessed value.

Please Note:   Although using this new, lowered rate, if the average residence homestead  assessed value increases from $304,916 to $326,019, there would be a slight increase in the average tax amount from $981.13 to $1,010.66, representing a 3.01% increase, or in this example $29.53.

The Board of MUD18 currently holds no bond debt and strives to maintain quality infrastructure, customer service and low cost within our District.

We are mandated to purchase surface water from the North Harris County Regional Water Authority, which sets its own price for water.  MUD 18 incorporates the surface water price set by the Regional Authority when calculating your water bill..  Please refer to your monthly bill to see how the District’s and Regional Authority’s water rates combine to form your monthly bill. Our Sewer Rate stays the same.
