• ABOUT THE DISTRICT
The Greater Northside Management District was created by House Bill 3634, authored by State Representative Jessica Farrar and sponsored in the Senate by Senator Mario Gallegos in the 77th Texas Legislature session. This bill was codified as Chapter 3812 Texas Special Districts Local Laws Code. The District began providing services in August of 2006.
The management district was formed to promote economic development, improve the quality of life for commercial property owners and create opportunities for new development.
Services are funded by an assessment on commercial property owners within district boundaries. Assessments are based on the2005 certified value of real property. The assessments are collected by Utility Tax Service, LLC.
