mud tax

22 years ago

Don't want to sound ignorant, but don't want to stay that way. But, could anyone tell me what MUD TAX is. I see it almost everywhere in area I live in and no one seems to be able to tell me what it is.

Thanks

MUD tax is a fee homeowners in certain subdivisions pay for the extra pipes and service that was needed to bring water out to their area.

The first thing we asked when we were searching for our home was if it was MUD..if they said yes, we thanked them and left..My sister in law purchased a home in a MUD district and she has regretted it ever since...
