Why some districts show “Not reported” instead of $0
A zero in the state's file means one of two very different things. River authorities, water authorities and port districts are funded by service charges rather than a property tax, so zero is correct for them — we label those “No levy”. But a taxing district that still owes money on bonds cannot be running a zero levy; that is missing data. Printing “$0” for those would tell you a district is free when it is not, so we show the gap instead and tell you to confirm with the district.
Selling in a district? Texas requires a written notice.
Under Texas Water Code § 49.452 the seller must give the buyer a Notice to Purchaser before the contract is signed, stating the district's tax rate and bonded debt. If it is not delivered, the buyer may terminate and recover their earnest money. We generate it, filled in from the state's own filing.
Where these figures come from
Every number on this page is read live from the Texas Bond Review Board's “Debt Outstanding By Issuance Local By Year” dataset on the State of Texas open data portal — issue by issue, district by district, for fiscal year 2025 (fiscal year end August 31). We do not retype it, and we do not cache it for more than six hours.
