What is the MUD?

Most Northtown residents don't know much about the Municipal Utility District, or that they can vote on who runs it.

A local government you probably didn't know you had

A Municipal Utility District is a special-purpose local government that runs a surprising amount of your day-to-day neighborhood life. The Northtown MUD was created in 1985 and covers the neighborhoods of Northtown Park, Meadow Pointe, Wildflower, Settler's Meadow, The Lakes at Northtown, Brookfield Estates, and the Village of Northtown.

A five-member elected board governs the district. It sets policy, approves budgets, and makes the decisions that determine your rates, your services, and what your commununity looks like.

What the MUD provides

More than most residents realize. The Northtown MUD is responsible for your water and wastewater service, trash and recycling pickup, the district's parks and hike-and-bike trails, deed restriction enforcement, neighborhood security patrols, and long-term infrastructure investment. It also sets the MUD tax rate that appears on your property tax bill.

In short: your water, your parks, your rates, and the overall character of the neighborhood are all shaped by this board.
