ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2025-11-05

The city was scheduled to hold the first of two required public hearings on proposed expansions of existing boundary agreements (called Strategic Partnership Agreements) with Spring Creek Utility District, which would allow Houston to annex certain land in Montgomery County for limited purposes and collect sales tax there — but this hearing has been pulled and will not take place on November 5, 2025. A second hearing had been planned for November 12, 2025.

What it means for you

Residents living in or near Spring Creek Utility District in Montgomery County could be affected if the agreement proceeds, as it would allow Houston to collect a portion of local sales tax in that area while the utility district would also receive a share; because this hearing was pulled, no action is taking place on this date.
