What is a Municipal Utility District (MUD)?

A Municipal Utility District (MUDs) is one of several types of special districts that function as independent, limited governments authorized to issue bonds and levy taxes. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas authorized by the Texas Water Code to provide services within its boundaries, BHMUD provides water, garbage and recycling pickup, deed restriction enforcement, maintenance and operations of pools and park facilities. 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.
