Water Code §49.158 lets Montgomery County MUD 24's board set its own fiscal year by resolution. It can change that at most once every 24 months. §49.057(b) requires an annual budget. Before adopting a tax rate the board must give public notice of a tax hearing (§49.236). Tax Code §26.05 does not apply to this tax (§49.107(g)).
How to reach it
Water Code §49.062 requires Montgomery County MUD 24 to keep an office. Under §49.063 meeting notice follows the Open Meetings Act (Gov't Code ch. 551). If the district has no place to meet inside its borders, it posts notice at a public place inside it.

Office: 10000 MEMORIAL DR STE 260, YOUNG & BROOKS, HOUSTON, TX 77024-3430.
