Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Rate – October 24, 2024

The Northgate Crossing Municipal Utility District #2 will hold a public hearing on the proposed tax rate for the 2024 tax year.

The meeting is scheduled for October 24, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. and will take place at Spring Fire Station 78, located at 1225 Booker Road, Spring, TX 77373.

Tax Rate Analysis

This year, the proposed tax rate is set at $0.700 per $100 of property value, which is a decrease from last year’s rate of $0.750.

This represents a 6.66% decrease in the rate, reflecting a notable reduction in the tax burden per $100 of value.

However, due to an increase in average property values—from $283,906 last year to $308,731 this year—the actual tax payable on an average residence homestead will see a slight increase of 1.49%, equating to approximately $31.82 more than the previous year.

Best Trash Update: Routes On Schedule, Guidelines for Trash and Storm Debris Collection

Message from Best Trash

Routes are running as scheduled. Collection is limited to household trash and regular yard waste. Strom debris will not be collected.

Regular yard waste, such as grass clippings, need to be in clear bags or the brown paper bags so we can determine that it is not storm debris. If the regular yard waste is in black bags, please ensure that they are separated from the storm debris to avoid any confusion. Household trash should be placed in white bags to clearly distinguish from storm debris. Please note that cleaning your yard after the storm is considered storm debris and will need to be separated from your regular trash.

Please be patient as we are working hard to get through the day and there may be some delays in getting serviced on your scheduled day.

Storm Debris

Best Trash extends sympathy for all of those affected by the storm.

We understand that this is a catastrophic event. It is encouraged to contact your Precinct or County to see when storm debris collection will happen. Please note that storm debris is not part of the normal heavy trash collection for Best Trash. Our main focus will be to collect regular trash.

Please ensure that the storm debris is separate from your regular trash to avoid any confusion.
