Galveston County MUD 82 Seeks League City Consent for $12M Road Bonds

League City’s council agenda for Oct. 27 carried item 26-0468, a resolution consenting to the sale of up to $12,000,000 in Unlimited Tax Road Bonds, Series 2026, for Galveston County Municipal Utility District No. 82. The item page shows no final action yet, so the consent is proposed, not decided.

For builders and brokers tracking Galveston County growth, a MUD road bond sale marks a district ready to borrow against homes it expects to tax.

Why it matters

A Texas MUD issues tax-backed bonds for the roads, water, sewer and drainage under a subdivision. Homeowners inside the district repay that debt through their property taxes. The district, not the city, issues the bonds. League City’s role is consent, and the debt sits on MUD 82’s tax base.

The item page also states the district acted on Oct. 8, 2026, to authorize its consultants to proceed with the issuance. A road bond follows earlier water, sewer and drainage borrowing in this district, which points to a subdivision moving from utilities to paved streets.

The numbers

• Bond cap: $12,000,000, Series 2026, road bonds.
• Outstanding debt after the sale: $17.7 million, of which $5.7 million is for water, sewer and drainage and $12.0 million for roads.
• That debt equals 12.53% of the district’s estimated taxable appraised value as of Sept. 1, 2026.
• The district’s 2026 adopted tax rate is $1.150 per $100 of assessed value.

What’s next

The Oct. 27 outcome will show in League City’s published minutes and on the item page. If the city consents, the district can price and close the bonds. The official statement filed at pricing would show the interest rate and the final amount sold, which can come in under the $12,000,000 cap.
