  • Coordinates.
  • 2025 MUD 499 rate from the district.
  • Official confirmation of City of Houston status.
  • Coordinates: OSM has no Stillwater on Lake Houston feature, and street lookups gave conflicting ZIPs.
  • HC MUD 499 website, operator and trash provider (no district site found).
  • Public copies of governing documents (Goodwin's community search did not return Stillwater).

If you own here and can share a public link to any of these, call or text 832-797-3780 and we’ll add it with its source.

Schools

Humble ISD Source

Attendance zones are set by address and can change each year. Confirm with the district before you rely on a campus.

Flood, drainage and property research

A mapped flood zone does not tell you a home’s full flood risk, and a neighbor’s history doesn’t tell you this home’s. Check the specific address, ask the seller for the Texas flood disclosure and any claims history, and get an insurance quote early.

Buying here

What to review before an offer in Stillwater on Lake Houston

  • Read the declaration and any supplemental declaration for the home’s section, plus the architectural guidelines, before your option period ends.
  • Order the resale certificate early and confirm every association that bills the home, with current dues and transfer fees.
  • Look up the parcel’s MUD or other district tax rates; they can be a large share of the total bill and vary by section.
  • Check the address on FEMA and county flood tools, request the seller’s flood disclosure, and price flood insurance before you commit.
  • Confirm school assignment for the exact address with the district.
