Notice to Purchaser of Real Estate
Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 129, through the dedication of its Directors and Consultants, is committed to providing the highest quality of water and sewer service at the most economical costs to its customers and taxpayers.
Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 129 will be holding a public hearing to discuss the proposed tax rate for the 2024 tax year. This meeting is an opportunity for residents to learn about the proposed rate changes and how they may affect property taxes.
The proposed tax rate for 2024 is set at $0.190000 per $100 of property value, which is a decrease from last year’s rate of $0.220000 per $100. This reduction of $-0.030000 per $100 represents a 13.64% decrease in the tax rate. Despite the decrease in the rate, the average appraised value of a residence homestead has increased from $581,555 last year to $633,763 this year.
As a result, the tax on an average residence homestead will decrease from $1,279.42 to $1,204.15, marking an annual reduction of $75.27 or 5.88%.
The actual change in your property taxes will depend on how the value of your property has changed relative to other properties in the district. This comparison determines how the tax burden is distributed among all property owners.

BUGCO will fog for mosquitoes between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. on Monday and Thursday evenings, weather permitting and in coordination with the City’s concurrent schedule (if applicable). While this practice significantly reduces the mosquito population, it does not eliminate it.
Given the recent rains and high temperatures, conditions are highly conducive to mosquito breeding. Mosquito fogging is restricted by legal limits on the amount of chemicals that can be applied within a calendar year. If the frequency of application is increased to more than twice a week, that limit would be reached as early as September, and treatments would cease sooner than mosquito season ends. To maintain an effective mosquito control strategy throughout the year and minimize disruptions, it is essential to adhere to the current schedule and respond adaptively to environmental conditions.

Best Trash extends sympathy for all of those affected by the storm. We understand that this is a catastrophic event and that it will take some time for the County to clean up the area. Please note that storm debris is not part of the normal heavy trash collection. Our main focus will be to collect household trash. Please ensure that the storm debris is separate from your regular trash to avoid any confusion.
Regular trash and recycle will be serviced as normal going forward.
Due to the effects of Hurricane Beryl, Fort Bend County Road & Bridge is coordinating the collection and removal of disaster debris within Fort Bend County. Fort Bend County Road & Bridge will begin debris collection and removal beginning early next week. In order to recycle as many materials as possible, residents are asked to separate disaster debris into the following piles:
Normal Household Trash – normal household waste, recyclables and bagged debris of any kind will not be collected with your storm debris. Please continue to follow your normal garbage removal schedule.
Please note that this operation is ONLY for disaster debris. Please do not attempt to place garbage or other household refuse with the disaster debris, as it will not be accepted, and will delay your storm debris collections. Regular trash removal services in the community will continue as scheduled.
