History

Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 11 is a conservation and reclamation district created by the Commissioners Court of Fort Bend County, Texas, in 1988, and operates pursuant to Chapters 49 and 57 of the Texas Water Code, as amended, and other general statutes applicable to conservation and reclamation districts. The District contains approximately 1,809.85 acres of land. The District is located entirely within Fort Bend County, Texas, approximately 24 miles southwest of the central business district of the City of Houston, Texas, and approximately 4 miles southwest of the City of Sugar Land, Texas (“Sugar Land” or “City”). The District is located entirely within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Sugar Land, adjacent to U.S. Highway 59, and approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the intersection of U.S. Highway 59 and Texas State Highway 6. The City intends to annex all of the land within the District into the City limits in December 2017. However, the District will not be annexed or abolished and there will be no effect on the District or its bonds. The District was created for the purpose of providing flood plain reclamation, flood protection and outfall drainage necessary for the development of the land located within the boundaries of the District by acquiring and constructing a flood control and major outfall drainage system to serve the land located within the boundaries of the District.
