2025 Tax Rate Set

The Board of Directors of Fry Road MUD (the district) voted to adopt a MUD Property Tax Rate of $0.32825 per $100 valuation for the 2025 tax year.  Please keep in mind this rate is for the district only.

The district has authorized Bob Leared Interests, the tax assessor-collector, to mail duplicate tax statements in January 2026. 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 MUD taxes by January 31, 2026.

**The Fry Road MUD tax statements contain a QR code.  When scanned with a smartphone, the QR code links directly to the account on the tax assessor website where payment can be made.**

You can view, make payments, and print receipts for the district property taxes online at www.bli-tax.com.   There is an additional processing fee when making online payments.  E-check payment processing fee is only $1.00.

The BLI 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, then tell the representative you are calling to pay TEXAS taxes.  You will then need to provide your entire account number which begins with “163” There is an additional processing fee when making payments by phone.

If you have not received your 2025 Fry Road MUD tax statement by the end of November, 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 delinquency date of February 1, 2026, 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.

Tax Rate Analysis

The proposed tax rate for 2024 is $0.32661 per $100 of property value, a slight decrease from last year’s rate of $0.32782 per $100. This represents a 0.36% decrease in the overall rate.

  • Average appraised residence value increased from $210,732 last year to $228,228 this year.
  • For an average homestead, the tax bill would increase from $552.65 to $596.33, reflecting a 7.9% increase in actual taxes paid.

If the proposed rate increases taxes on the average homestead by more than 3.5%, an election may be required unless the adopted rate stays below the voter-approval rate of $0.32661.
