What is Annexation?
Annexation is the process by which the City of Sugar Land incorporates Municipal Utility Districts located in the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) into the city limits of the city and begins providing full municipal services to those residents.

What will happen to MUD 113 after Annexation?
The Municipal Utility District will be dissolved. All of the MUD’s assets and liabilities will be assumed by the City of Sugar Land. The MUD tax rate will be replaced by the City tax rate and your monthly water bill from the MUD will be replaced with one from the City of Sugar Land.
Why is MUD 113 being annexed into the City of Sugar Land now?
After City Council adopted an annexation policy in July 2004 subsequent discussions with MUD 113 led to the realization that MUD 113 met the criteria for annexation into the City. As required by State Law, a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) between the City of Sugar Land MUD 113 has been developed and adopted by both entities. The SPA outlines the terms and timeline for annexation.
