Who We Are
The Northtown Municipal Utility District was created in 1985. Its approximately 1224 acres lie just east of Interstate 35 between Austin and Pflugerville, bounded by Howard Lane to the south and Highway 685/Dessau Road to the east.
The district includes the District Office, Northtown Park, Meadow Pointe, Wildflower, Settler's Meadow, The Lakes at Northtown, Brookfield and the Village of Northtown neighborhoods, two elementary schools, several parks, ponds, hike and bike trails, 3 pavilions, and still has room to grow. Future development may include more parks, trails, single and multi-family residences, light retail, and even a fire/EMS station.
The District is governed by a Board of five members that serve staggered four-year terms. In accordance with Texas Water Code § 49.103, director elections are held on the November uniform election date, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, in even-numbered years. The District's next director election will be held on November 3, 2026 at the polling places for each election precinct within the District established by Travis County. A person that desires to be a candidate in the District's next director election must be qualified to serve as a director and must timely submit an application for a place on the ballot to the District. To be qualified to serve as a director, a person must be at least 18 years old, a resident citizen of the State of Texas, and either own land subject to taxation in the District or be a qualified voter within the District. The first day and time that a candidate may file an application for a place on the ballot is 8:00 a.m. on the day that is 108 days before the election and the last day that a candidate may file an application for a place on the ballot is 5:00 p.m. on the day that is 78 days before the date of the election.

Restrictive Covenant Corner
Find the restrictive covenant for your section here!
Is your grass running over the curb? Are your flowerbeds weeded? Are your shrubs pruned? With the arrival of summer, your neighbors are in the yard, working to preserve not only their investment, but your investment as well. Won't you join them?
Part of being a good neighbor is keeping your residence looking nice. It's important because a well-kept lawn is required by your Restrictive Covenants. Restrictive Covenants are legally enforceable promises you made when you purchased the property. If you are a renter, your landlord is required to make sure you abide by these promises.
So be a good neighbor. Check your lawn and make sure it is mowed, edged, weed free, and your shrubs are pruned.
Email the district with questions about restrictive covenants or complaints about other properties at Moliver@northtownmud.org.
Board meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 5:45pm. The districts administrative office is located here:
