A quick question for the Mont Belvieu folks. About once or twice a year, for the past 4 or 5 years somebody will tell me that they heard that the Baytown neighborhoods on N. hwy 146 in Chambers County will soon be zoned to the Barbers Hill School district or its being discussed. Now, I've never put much stock in that. There's never any concrete information and I just don't see GCCISD willingly giving up any tax base. But I keep hearing it from time to time. Do any of you Barbers Hill folks every hear this?

That area, all the way to I-10, is in Baytown City limits. I do not see it happening. I have lived in the area for over 50 years and have never heard a move for this to become BHISD zone. 

Actually, I believe all the neighborhoods past the railroad bridge are not in the city limits. Also BHISD begins at Needlepoint Rd.

I've heard two different versions of this. One being it would involve everything located in Chambers County( some of which is within Baytown City limits) The other would just involve the area in Chambers outside of the city limits.

I agree. I was just curious where this rumor was coming from as I have heard it from a variety of people for the past 4 or 5 years. I was also wondering if the rumor was circulating in Mont Belvieu as well.

The rumor was started by folk ill-informed.  I love this map because it ends all silly arguments about school district lines......

What motivation could there possibly be for BH to annex any part of GC? BH is growing by leaps and bounds already. The TEA maps will remain as is.

Just looked.  GCISD north of I-10 does not encompass Hwy146.  Surprisingly,  it runs up against 99 which I though was in Barbie's Hill....

 

This is the hidden content, please

GCISD stops at Cedar Bayou north of I-10, which is also the Harris county/Chambers county line.  It does run to 99 south of IH-10.

I can read a map.  And I said the same thing.......

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
