Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Rate – September 13, 2024

Residents of Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 191, it’s essential to stay informed about the upcoming public hearing on the proposed tax rate for the 2024 tax year. This hearing is scheduled for September 13, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. at The Muller Law Group, PLLC, in Sugar Land, Texas.

What’s Changing?

The proposed tax rate for 2024 is $1.35 per $100 of property value, which is consistent with the rate from 2023. However, even though the rate itself hasn’t changed, the increase in the average appraised value of residence homesteads—from $248,028 in 2023 to $253,530 in 2024—means that residents can expect to see a slight increase in their property taxes. Specifically, taxes on the average residence homestead are expected to rise by $74.28, a 2.22% increase from last year.

Why This Matters

Understanding how these changes affect your taxes is crucial. The increase in your tax bill reflects the rise in property values rather than a change in the tax rate. It’s important to know that if the combined tax rate for debt service, operation, and maintenance increases by more than 8%, residents have the right to petition for an election to determine whether to reduce the tax rate.

Get Involved

The public hearing is your opportunity to voice any concerns or seek clarification on how these changes may impact you. Staying informed and participating in these discussions ensures that your voice is heard in decisions that affect your finances and community.
