Relating to the creation of the Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 13; granting a limited power of eminent domain; providing authority to issue bonds; providing authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.

HB 5648 would create Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 13 to manage local water infrastructure. The district would have limited authority to take private land for water projects (like stormwater management), issue bonds for construction, and charge property owners fees or taxes for services. It directly affects landowners within the district boundaries, which include areas for water control, waste handling, and storm drainage improvements. The bill establishes the district’s governing structure and confirms its public purpose under Texas law.
