HOA and deed restrictions

No assessment amount is published by an official source, so we do not show one. The resale certificate for the address shows what it owes.

Pearland has no single association. Each subdivision has its own association, dues and deed restrictions, so get the resale certificate for the specific home. Shadow Creek Ranch's community site gives only a homeowner inquiry email, not dues. Shadow Creek Ranch community site: schools

Rates are per $100 of taxable value; a tax bill also depends on the appraised value, exemptions and which units cover the address.
