The County Commissioners created Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 6 (“Fort Bend LID 6”) to protect land from flooding by the Brazos River. Fort Bend LID 6 includes the Del Webb development, Veranda development, Williams Ranch development, and the George Foundation land. Fort Bend LID 6 constructed an earthen levee from the Fort Bend County complex, and it ties into the Fort Bend MUD 121 levee close to River Point Church. Fort Bend LID 6 issues bonds to reimburse the developers for the earthen levee, gate structures, and regional drainage ponds that work together to provide regional drainage for localized rainfall. The earthen levee protects property from the rise of the Brazos River. Without Fort Bend LID 6 and its facilities, development would not have occurred in this area, or mandatory Flood Insurance purchase would have been required. Fort Bend LID 6’s tax rate has a debt service component as well as a portion for the operation and maintenance of the district facilities.
