Explained

Today

  • Bexar County Municipal Utility District No. 1 was created by order of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality dated June 29, 2026, with road powers, and is run by temporary directors the Commission appointed.
  • The district has issued no bonds and levies no debt service tax, according to its election order.
  • The board's election order says an election is necessary to confirm the creation and establishment of the district and to elect five permanent directors; this is the confirmation question.

If it passes

  • A 'For' vote confirms the creation and establishment of the district.
  • On the same ballot, district voters also decide an operation and maintenance tax of up to $1.20 per $100 of valuation, $330 million in water, wastewater and drainage bonds, $140 million in road bonds, $30 million in park and recreation bonds, refunding bonds, and five permanent directors.
  • The district's engineering reports estimate facilities that would serve property inside and next to the district; those reports are not part of the propositions and are not a contract with voters.

Who would notice

Current and future property owners and residents inside the district, who would be subject to any district taxes voters authorize, and the developers whose costs the district's bonds could reimburse.

How it got here

The district's temporary board called the confirmation election, along with the tax, bond and directors elections, for November 3, 2026; the district does not maintain a website.
