Municipal Utility District Tax. To quote: "A Municipal Utility District (MUD) is a political urban subdivision of the state authorized in Chapter 55 of the water code to provide water and wastewater service to a specific region. In order to accomplish that goal, the MUD may purchase or construct and operate facilities that serve the region; it may issue bonds to finance the purchase or construction of such facilities."
In other words, it's an entity that can charge you taxes in order to provide utility services to your area.

MUD stands for Municipal Utility District.
MUDs supply the water and waste services to an area.
A MUD tax essentially refers to the taxes assessed on an area for those services. The reason why this is a concern is that some MUD taxes can be considerably higher in newer neighborhoods, to pay for the initial infrastructure development.
If you move to a new neighborhood, which pays a few dollars per $100 of valuation, it can be a very heavy tax burden compared to an already established neighborhood which has already paid off its infrastructure.
There are other factors to consider. The neighborhood developers may subsidize the homeowners to reduce the taxes.
Your best bet is to speak to a Realtor when considering purchasing a home.

It depends how far North in Houston you mean. If it is still in the city limits, then no it is a bad area. If it is North of it, particularly once you get to Spring/Klein area and further North. Cypresswood subdivision is in Spring (North of Houston) and has a continuation of Ella, it is nice.

No. Move farther north to Spring, the Woodlands or Conroe. Also, do not move south of I-10.
