HC MUD 341 – 2025 Tax Rate Announcement & Exemption Opportunities

Dear Homeowners,

HC MUD 341 is pleased to announce a reduction in the 2025 tax rate to 0.315, down from last year’s rate of 0.325. This decrease is made possible by a modest increase in overall community property values.

Please note that each homeowner’s tax bill is unique. It is calculated based on your property’s appraised value as determined by HCAD, minus any applicable exemptions, and multiplied by the HC MUD 341 tax rate. Our analysis for the upcoming tax year shows:

  • 27% of homeowners will see a decrease in their tax bill.
  • 65% will see an increase of less than $50.

To help reduce your individual tax burden, consider the following:

  1. Protest property valuations to ensure the lowest possible assessed value.
  2. Apply for all eligible exemptions.

Key Exemptions Available (see www.hcad.org for more information)

  • HC MUD 341 Over-65 Exemption: An additional $20,000 exemption for homeowners aged 65 or older is offered by the MUD. Over 41% of our community currently benefits from this. If you’ve applied for the over 65 exemption through HCAD, this exemption will automatically be applied by the MUD.
  • General Residence Homestead Exemption: Reduces appraised value by up to $100,000 for school taxes. Additional exemptions (up to 20%) may be available from Harris County.
  • Homestead Cap: Limits annual increases in appraised value to 10% after the first year of exemption.
  • Over-65 or Disabled Persons Exemption: Includes an additional $10,000 school tax exemption and a school tax ceiling.
  • Disabled Veteran Exemption: Partial or full exemption based on disability rating. Veterans with a 100% disability rating receive a full exemption.
  • Surviving Spouse Exemptions: Available for spouses of qualified seniors, disabled veterans, or first responders (conditions apply).
  • Solar Energy Exemption: Available to homeowners who own (not lease) solar energy systems used for on-site energy production. Many eligible homeowners are not currently claiming this exemption. The form to file is found here.

The deadline for applying for most exemptions is April 30.  Forms for filing exemptions, other than solar are found on https://hcad.org/hcad-forms/hcad-all-forms/ in about the middle of the page.

Tax revenue is essential for maintaining water, sewer, trash, and drainage services.  Tax bills will be mailed in the coming week. Your prompt payment supports the continued operation of our services.

Warm regards,
HC MUD 341 Board of Directors
