Board of Directors Approves Lower NHCRWA Fee and 2023 Tax Rate

At its regular meeting on October 5, 2023, the Bilma PUD Board of Directors voted on the following fiscal matters:

  • Reduced the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (“NHCRWA”) fee Bilma customers are charged from $4.65 to $4.15 per 1,000 gallons of water used.
  • Approved a 2023 total tax rate of $0.455 per $100 of assessed valuation. This is a $0.135 decrease since 2013.

Customers will see the impact of the reduced NHCRWA fee on their next water bill.

While property values, which are determined by the Harris County Appraisal District, increased on average by 10%, the Board was committed to keeping tax bills as low as possible while still fulfilling the District’s obligations.
