The Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 15 will hold a public hearing on a proposed tax rate for the tax year 2023 on September 18, 2023 at 4:00 pm at The Club at Riverstone, 18353 University Blvd, Sugar Land TX 77479. Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the tax rate that is adopted and on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property. The change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in the taxable value of all other property determines the distribution of the tax burden among all property owners.

Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 15 (LID 15) continues to actively monitor Tropical Storm Harold in the Gulf of Mexico. The probable path of Tropical Storm Harold does not include LID 15, and the District is currently forecasted to receive very little rain. The latest forecast and information from the National Weather Service is included below (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?start#contents ). The Brazos River is also at low levels that do not impact drainage inside the LID 15 levee.

The LID 15 pump stations and portable pumps are exercised monthly, and operators are always available to run the pumps, if needed. During any heavy rain event there may be street ponding or flooding if the storm drains are overwhelmed and back up.  As rainfall decreases, the storm sewers will catch up, and any water in the streets will recede.  Never drive into high water.

Planning to improve your yard?

Are you planning any outdoor improvements around your home? LID 15 reminds all residents to think about drainage when considering modifications to your yard. The lots in LID 15 are designed to carry water from the backyard and out to the street, as shown in graphic below. A brief video also highlights the importance of this lot design and not restricting drainage with fill material or paving.

Is your home adjacent to any of the lakes in Riverstone? If yes, then you likely have a LID 15 Drainage Easement in your backyard. Please refer to the District’s Policy that outlines what can and cannot be constructed in the LID 15 Drainage Easement.

For all outdoor modifications, LID 15 residents should also contact Riverstone Homeowners Association: https://www.riverstone.com/residents-compliance
