For Willow Point MUD, the new agreement will add undeveloped land intended for commercial use. For Harris County MUD No. 53, the amendment will add commercial property to the existing agreement. There is no population located in these territories proposed to be annexed for limited purposes. In each case, the City will levy a 1% sales tax and the taxes collected will be divided evenly between the City and the District.
For Harris County WCID No. 96 and Harris County WCID No. 110, the amendments will extend the existing terms of the SPAs for an additional 10 years. The exact dates for these terms have been specified in the proposed amendments to the SPAs. The SPA for Baybrook MUD No. 1 will be amended to correct the term, so that it expires on January 1, 2031, thirty years from the original SPA date. For all the other MUDs which are in the Atascocita area, the SPA amendments will amend provisions related to full-purpose annexation.
For the new SPAs or amendments where territory has been annexed, Council District assignments of the newly annexed areas are detailed on the accompanying SPA Precinct Memorandum.
