A public hearing on the proposed 2025 tax rate for Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 15 will be held on September 22, 2025, at 4:00 PM. The hearing will take place at 18353 University Blvd, Sugar Land, Texas.
While the proposed tax rate is lower than last year, the average tax bill on a homestead is projected to increase due to rising property values.
Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District No. 15 (LID 15) is actively monitoring tropical weather in the Gulf of Mexico. The latest forecast and information from the National Weather Service is posted below, and LID 15 is only forecasted to receive about an inch of rain over the next week. The Brazos River is also at low levels that do not impact drainage inside the LID 15 levee. The pump stations and portable pumps are exercised monthly, and operators are available to run the pumps, if needed. Based on the current forecast, the District does not anticipate that the pumps will be operated.
During any heavy rain event there may be street ponding or flooding if the storm drains are overwhelmed and back up. As rainfall decreases, the storm sewers will catch up, and any water in the streets will recede. Never drive into high water.

The Hurricane Beryl debris removal project began on June 23, and the contractor is almost complete with tree removals in Alcorn Bayou. The stockpiles of debris that are staged near Alcorn Bayou will be hauled away over the next week. During the last week of July 28, tree crews will move to Snake Slough, located on Winding Waters Way next to Sullivan Elementary. When Snake Slough is complete, the contractor will move to Steep Bank Creek and the Avalon at Hagerson Road. All Hurricane Beryl debris removal is still scheduled to be complete by the end of August.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently approved additional grant funding for LID 15, so the District will receive more than $220,000 in federal reimbursements that fund 75% of the total project cost. LID 15 thanks the residents of Riverstone for their patience and support during this final phase of Hurricane Beryl recovery.
