Relating to the creation of the River Ranch Municipal Utility District No. 1; granting a limited power of eminent domain; providing authority to issue bonds; providing authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.

HB 5674 creates the River Ranch Municipal Utility District No. 1 to provide essential utility services like water, sewer, and road maintenance within its designated area. The bill grants the district limited authority to acquire private property through eminent domain (for utility infrastructure), issue bonds to fund projects, and impose fees, assessments, and taxes on property owners within the district. Property owners in the district’s boundaries will directly pay for services through these new fees and taxes. The district must obtain prior approval from local municipalities before operating, as required by Texas law.
