About Us

Montgomery County Emergency Services District 14 (MCESD14) is a political subdivision of the State of Texas which provides local emergency services, including fire prevention and control, and emergency first response services. Our District includes the Timber Lakes/Timber Ridge (TLTR) Community as well as areas of south Montgomery County along parts of the Sawdust Road Corridor. These services are provided through a contract with the Timber Lakes Volunteer Fire Department (TLVFD) and mutual aid agreements with area Fire Departments.

ESD Districts are governed by Texas Health and Safety Code, Title 9, Subtitle B, Chapter 775. Five local commissioners are appointed by County Commissioners Court for two-year terms on the Board. Revenue to provide the services is raised by ad valorem taxes not to exceed 10 cents per 100 dollars valuation. Additional revenue is provided by voter approved sales tax in the district. Commissioners elect their officers annually at January meeting.
