To reduce flooding and ensure that storm water continues to drain uninhibited, especially after a large storm such as Hurricane Beryl, the District’s storm water drainage facilities must remain unblocked. The most impactful things you can do to help are as follows:

• REPORT DEBRIS AND DAMAGED FENCES to the Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 3 (“Precinct 3”) debris hotline at 713-274-3880. You can also call Precinct 3’s dispatch at 713-274-3100 if the debris hotline is busy.
• Manually clear storm inlets from visible debris.
• Do not place, pile or store any collected storm debris near storm water drainage facilities such as storm drains, manholes or culverts.
• If possible, do not park cars on the street near or across from storm debris piles. This ensures that any trucks and equipment used by Precinct 3 for cleanup will be able to access the debris.

The Board of Directors of Trail of the Lakes M.U.D. (the District) voted to maintain the District’s Property Tax Rate of $0.60 per $100 valuation for the 2024 tax year.  Please keep in mind this rate is for the District only.

The District has authorized Bob Leared Interests, its tax assessor-collector, to mail duplicate tax statements in January 2025. These statements will be mailed to homeowners whose original tax statement was requested by and mailed to a mortgage company AND remains unpaid at the time of the January mailing.  If you receive a DUPLICATE TAX STATEMENT, this is your reminder to contact your mortgage company to ensure timely payment of your district taxes by January 31, 2025.

You can view, make payments, and print receipts for the District’s property taxes online at www.bli-tax.com.   Statements will contain an account specific QR code for use with a smart phone.  The QR code will take you directly to your account on the tax assessor’s website, and payment can be processed.  There is an additional processing fee when making online payments.  This website is not associated with any DOXO website.  If paying your taxes using a DOXO website, you will incur higher processing fees.

In addition to paying online, payment can be made by calling OPAY Customer Service at (800)487-4567 between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm CST.  Select the customer service option and tell the representative you are calling to pay TEXAS taxes.  You will then need to provide your entire account number which begins with “116.” There is an additional processing fee when making payments by phone.

If you have not received your 2024 District tax statement by the end of November 2024, and you are unable to locate your account online at www.bli-tax.com, please contact the tax assessor-collector at 713-932-9011 to discuss your tax account.  Failure to receive a tax statement will not extend the due date of January 31, 2025, and does not meet the legal requirements to waive penalties or interest which will be added if payment is not made in full by the due date.
