Join us on November 20, 2026, from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (CT) for an National Learning Series Discussion.
This session, “Financing Development: MUDs, PIDs & Beyond,” will feature Richard Marek of Risewell Homes and will provide a practical look at the public finance tools developers can use to fund infrastructure, recover development costs, and support projects across Texas.
The discussion will explore the differences between Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) and Public Improvement Districts (PIDs), including how each is created, financed, and used to reimburse qualified development costs. Attendees will also gain insight into additional financing mechanisms, including Municipal Management Districts (MMDs), Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZs), and Chapters 380/381 economic development agreements.
Attendees will gain insight into:
• The key differences between MUDs and PIDs
• How special districts can help finance infrastructure and reimburse development costs
• Bond issuance, reimbursement timing, and financing considerations
• When different financing structures may make sense based on the project
• The role of MMDs, TIRZs, and Chapters 380/381 agreements
• Key considerations when evaluating public finance strategies
This session is designed to provide valuable perspective for developers, builders, engineers, attorneys, consultants, and land professionals involved in evaluating and financing development projects across Texas.
