Small Action – Big Impact
Storm Water Program
Sedona Lakes Municipal Utility District No. 1 of Brazoria County (the “District”) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas created for the purpose of providing water, sanitary sewer, and drainage facilities, park facilities, and road facilities to the land within its boundaries, operating pursuant to Chapter 8305 of the Texas Special District Local Laws Code, Chapters 49 and 54 of the Water Code and Article XVI, Section 59 and Article III, Section 52 of the Texas Constitution. In addition, the District is subject to the continuing supervision of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “TCEQ”).
To carry out its purposes, the District has implemented a stormwater management program and works with a storm water consultant, Stormwater Solutions, to reduce the pollutants discharged into the District’s stormwater system.
Enclosed with your bill is an educational pamphlet and survey, prepared by Stormwater Solutions, that describes ways in which individuals can reduce chemicals, waste and other pollutants from entering the District’s stormwater system. The pamphlet also includes a QR Code for a survey about stormwater pollutants for customers to complete.
The District appreciates your cooperation in its mission to reduce stormwater pollution.
Thank you,
Board of Directors

SEDONA LAKES MUD NO. 1 TAX RATE FOR 2025
At the September meeting, your all resident Sedona Lakes MUD Board of Directors approved a tax rate decrease for the 5th consecutive year. The Board approved a total tax rate of $1.135 per $100 of assessed valuation for the 2025 tax year. This rate is a reduction of 1 cent from the tax rate last year.
Technical details:
The total tax rate consists of three components: Maintenance and Operations Tax rate of $0.40 (1/2 cent reduction from prior year); Debt Service Tax rate of $0.485 (same as previous year); and Road Service Debt Service tax rate of $0.25 (1/2 cent reduction from prior year).
Homeowners’ tax bills may not reflect similar reductions if the Brazoria County Appraisal District increased the assessed valuation of their homes.
Residents will receive the Sedona Lakes MUD tax bill in the mail from the MUD’s Tax Assessor-Collector, Utility Tax Services. The tax bills should be going out at the end of October.
In addition, the Board authorized the issuance of bonds to reimburse Landeavor LLC, the former Sedona Lakes developer, for costs related to the construction of water, sewer, and drainage facilities that serve the MUD and authorized the use of operating funds to reimburse the developer for costs related to the construction of road facilities that serve the MUD. With these final payments, the Board believes the MUD has fulfilled its remaining outstanding reimbursement obligations to the developer.

Town Hall Meeting- November 14th, 2023
RESIDENTS OF SEDONA LAKES MUD #1
The Sedona Lakes Municipal Utility District No. 1 is acutely aware of the lack of neighborhood amenities.
The Sedona Lakes MUD Board of Directors contracted with Buckson Landscape Architecture to develop a Master Plan Concept for the Sedona Lakes Community.
The Master Plan involved an inventory and documentation phase of all existing amenities in Sedona Lakes.
The next phase of the planning process included development of preliminary design concepts and costs for the proposed improvements to the available areas owned by the MUD.
The Board formed a Task Force of community members to review and provide input for the Initial phase of the Master Plan.
After review and several brainstorming sessions by the Task Force, the concepts and budgets were revised and presented to the Board.
The Initial Concept Phase of a Multi-phase/year Project incorporates a number of elements from the Master Plan, and utilizes available MUD land. This Phase also creates infrastructure for future additions consistent with future expansion based on funding availability.
The Board is now ready to present the Master Plan to the community for comments and input prior to finalization of the initial phase the Master Plan.
The Board will hold a Town Hall on November 14th from 7:00-7:30 pm at the Pavilion to review the Plan with the residents and answer any questions. BRING YOUR CHAIRS.
A feedback link will be provided at the Town Hall meeting for your written comments.
