Lavon's public improvement districts
Lavon is a Collin County city of 8,491 people, according to the Census Bureau's population estimates, and some of its homes sit in districts that carry an extra assessment. The city's public improvement districts page names four: Heritage PID No. 1, Lakepointe PID, Elevon PID and Trails of Lavon PID. In each one, residents repay the cost of district improvements through assessments that are paid in addition to the taxes levied by the city, Collin County, the school district and others.
If your home is in one of these districts, the city points residents to the documents they signed at closing when they bought. The districts are managed by a third-party administrator, P3 Works, LLC (817-393-0353), and the page posts each district's annual service and assessment plan.
Water from Bear Creek, trash from the city
The city's city services and utilities page lists Bear Creek Special Utility District (BCSUD), 16881 CR 541 in Lavon, (972) 843-2101, as the water provider. The city itself offers sanitary sewer service to certain areas and requires every resident to have trash and recycling service through Community Waste Disposal, with curbside pickup on Wednesday. The same page carries the city's utility service applications, including one marked MUD Only, and lists 972-843-4220, ext. 105, for help with paying or checking a city utility bill.
Among the main utility providers, the page lists Farmers Electric Cooperative and Oncor for electricity and Atmos Energy for natural gas.
Permits and code compliance
Code compliance in Lavon sits with the Public Works Department's Code Compliance Investigator. The code enforcement page lists weeds taller than 12 inches, dangerous piles of rubbish, construction violations, abandoned or junk vehicles and work done without a required permit among the problems it handles. Reports go to 972-843-4220.
The building inspection page says all residential construction needs a city permit, including fences, sheds, patio covers, pools, room additions and remodels, and it warns: "Work that begins without a permit is subject to fines and increased permit fees." The same page says the City Council adopted the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, with amendments, in November 2024.
Appraisal, tax bills and deeds in Collin County
Your appraisal account is with the Collin Central Appraisal District at 250 Eldorado Pkwy. in McKinney. In general, to challenge a value, you file a written protest with the Appraisal Review Board by May 15 or 30 days after the appraisal notice is delivered, whichever is later (Tax Code 41.44).
For the bill itself, the Comptroller's Collin County directory lists the City of Lavon among the units served by Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector Scott Grigg, and the appraisal district's tax rate table names the Collin County Tax Office as collector for Lavon City. The county tax office says statements are mailed in October and are due upon receipt. The city's PID page says district assessments are paid in addition to these taxes. Deeds are recorded through the Collin County Clerk's land recordings office at 2300 Bloomdale Rd. in McKinney.
Inherited houses and legal clinics
An inherited Lavon house goes through probate in the county where the owner lived (Estates Code 33.001). For Collin County residents, that is the Collin County Probate Court in the Russell A. Steindam Courts Building, 2100 Bloomdale Rd. in McKinney, which often handles uncontested probate and guardianship hearings by Zoom.
For legal help for people who qualify, Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas runs walk-in evening clinics listed on its McKinney office page, including a Plano Legal Clinic at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, 920 E. 14th St. The page lists general civil legal matters, including wills and estates, landlord-tenant issues and real property matters.
