What is a MUD
A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas authorized by the Texas Water Code to provide services within its boundaries. Services can include water, garbage and recycling pickup, deed restriction enforcement, operation of pools and parks, recreational opportunities. A tax assessment funds these services to maintain high quality services.

MUDs have greater flexibility than a city because residents have a more narrowly defined sense of neighborhood and more interest in their community. MUD board members are residents and are elected to four year terms.

In Block House Creek, we also have some are as that are part of a homeowners association that also has some jurisdiction about deed restriction enforcement. Some of the rules may be slightly different. The Block House Creek Owners' Association (www.bhcoa.com) also provides some community events and services.
