Wishing You A Happy Thanksgiving

Holiday Trash Pickup Schedule

Thursday, November 28, 2019, Thanksgiving will be a holiday observed by Best Trash. Trash services that are normally on Thursday will resume collection on Monday, December 2, 2019. Please take a look at the Best Trash Holiday Schedule for more information.

Please always remember to have your trash and/or recycle out by 7am on your service day.

The Cypress Hill MUD Board is proposing to set a 2019 tax rate of $0.72 per $100 assessed valuation, a reduction of 3 cents from the 2018 tax rate of $0.75. The Board continues to reduce its tax rate as its finances permit, going from a tax rate of $1.25 in 2006 to a proposed tax rate of $0.72 in 2019.

Because appraised values in the District have increased over 2018 values, taxpayers can expect a tax bill from the District in approximately the same amount as last year.

The District cautions that other political subdivisions (like Harris County) plan to increase their tax rate so taxpayers may see an overall increase in their tax bills. Taxes are due on January 31, 2020.

The District welcomes comments on the proposed tax rate at its next meeting to be held on October 18, 2019 at 11 a.m., at the Sydney Harbour Clubhouse. Written comments may be sent through the contact form on the website. The tax rate will be finalized after the public comment period on October 18.

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is kicking off an effort to develop a Watershed Protection Plan for Cypress Creek. The aim of this project is to develop locally-supported, voluntary strategies to reduce sources of pollution, primarily bacteria, within the watershed.
The first public information meetings for this project will be held:

• July 23, 1:30-3:30 PM at the Weekley Community Center, 8440 Greenhouse Road, Cypress; or
• July 23, 5:30-7:30 PM, at the Barbara Bush Library, 6817 Cypresswood Drive, Spring

One of the purposes of these introductory meetings will be to receive nominations of local stakeholders to serve on a Steering Committee to provide overall guidance for this project. There will also be other opportunities for public feedback as the project moves forward.
Additional information on the project can be found at www.cypresspartnership.com.

Remember This Memorial Day….

“All Gave Some, Some Gave All.”
