Water Code §54.101 (statutes.capitol.texas.gov)When decisions happen
Water Code §49.158 lets Porter MUD'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 Porter MUD to keep an office. Under §49.063 meeting notice follows the Open Meetings Act (Gov't Code ch. 551). The phone comes from TCEQ's Water District Database, which prints no office address. Email and mailing address come from the district's own Comptroller filing (contact of record: Ron Young, Attorney); that filing prints a different phone, so the phone channel keeps TCEQ's.
Also on this tax bill
A Porter MUD address pays these governments too. Which special districts apply depends on the address.
