I believe TAR should further spell out which notice to use or have it listed beside each MUD District information. Why should we pay $10.00

Correct. This is a seller responsibility. The seller is required (by code) to provide the notice/disclosure to any and all buyers, before the buyer submits an offer to purchase. As a listing broker, I would advise my seller client to not accept (sign) any offer until the buyer provides a buyer signed copy of the notice/disclosure. The seller could face some rather severe financial penalties for accepting an offer where the buyer has not indicated that they have received the notice/disclosure.

David,
What happens if a builder does not disclose this information to the buyer. They have violated the code. Can this be cause for legal ground?

We don’t have alot of MUD districts in my area, but we have a bunch of SUD’s, and PID’s, When I clicked the link to view the TCEQ’s database, they seem to be classified with the MUD’s. Should we be using these terms interchangeably?

We have a home under contract in a MUD. Prior to listing, I called the office (in Schertz) and they said “We don’t collect taxes, so you don’t have to worry about it.” Are they correct? We did add a statement in agent remarks that if a buyer’s agent had any questions, they could contact the same office.

will these notices be added to our zip form library?

Are SUDs also included in this code?
