The Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 19 will hold a public hearing on a proposed tax rate for the tax year 2026 on October 21, 2026 at 6:00 pm at Muller Law Group, 202 Century Square Blvd., Sugar Land, Texas 77478. Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the tax rate that is adopted and on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property. The change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in the taxable value of all other property determines the distribution of the tax burden among all property owners.

Since Hurricane Harvey, Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 19 (LID 19) Board of Directors has completed several projects to strengthen flood protection for properties within LID 19 boundaries.

We are pleased to share that one of the District’s most significant recent projects, the new Lost Creek Pump Station, is nearing completion. Once operational, the pump station will add 200,000 gallons per minute (gpm) of stormwater pumping capacity for LID 19.

The new pump station is expected to be fully operational within the next few months, after the electric power supply connection is completed and a few remaining construction items are finished.

Together, LID 19’s post-Harvey projects represent substantial progress in improving the District’s flood resilience.

Original pumping capacity before Hurricane Harvey: 80,000 gpm

Total pumping capacity after the Lost Creek Pump Station is completed: 510,000 gpm, which is more than six times the District’s original capacity.

We will provide another update when the new pump station is fully commissioned. In the meantime, please contact LID 19 if you have any questions or would like additional information.
