Chimney Hill Municipal Utility District (Chimney Hill MUD), located in Harris, County was created on September 16, 1976. The District did not have any residents or a tax rate when it was first created. A developer owned all property and planned to build single family homes. By the end of 1978, there were approximately 200 homes in the District. The District now has 1,744 single family connections consisting of three subdivisions; Chimney Hill, Sections 1-5; Eldridge Meadow, Sections 1-3 and Westbrook Lakes, Sections 1-2.

The District also consists of an elementary school, two shopping centers, two manufacturing / office / warehouse facilities, three daycare centers, one bank, two restaurants, two gas stations / convenience stores and one office building. The District first levied a tax in 1977, at which time the rate was $1.05 per $100 of assessed value. The highest tax rate occurred in 1989 and 1990, which the tax rate was $1.94 per $100 of assessed value. The combined debt service and maintenance tax rate for the 2005 tax year was the lowest it has ever been, $0.95 per $100 of assessed value.
