Management districts are special districts created by the Texas legislature. Generally, these districts are empowered to promote, develop, encourage and maintain employment, commerce, transportation, housing, tourism, recreation, arts, entertainment, economic development, safety and public welfare. Typically, management districts are given the power to finance their operations by issuing bonds or other obligations, payable in whole or in part from ad valorem taxes, assessments, impact fees or other funds of the District to provide improvements and services. Further, districts may levy a tax only after holding an election within the district.
The Planning and Development Department recommends City Council consent to the addition of land in the following district:
Harris County Improvement District No.17: Harris County Improvement District No. 17 was created by a special act of the Texas legislature in 2009. The Board of Directors has now submitted a request for consent for the addition of approximately 98.703 acres of land to the district. The land is situated wholly within Harris County and is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City. The annexation tract is currently undeveloped and there is no one residing on the tract. There is a proposal for a future single family development to be built on this site.
The Planning Department recommends the annexation of land into this district.
