Local sales and use tax changes across Texas
Effective Jan. 1, 2025, several local sales and use tax changes will take place across Texas.
A sales tax is a tax imposed on the sale of goods and services, collected by the seller at the point of sale. A use tax is a tax on the use, storage, or consumption of goods within a state when sales tax was not collected at the time of purchase. Both taxes serve to ensure that states collect the appropriate revenue regardless of how or where goods are purchased.
Some counties have raised their sales tax rates to support necessities like street maintenance and repairs, while others have eliminated certain additional taxes
In McCamey, in Upton County, and Woodsboro, in Refugio County, the city sales and use tax rates will increase by 2%, bringing the total rate to 8.25%. These adjustments are designated for street maintenance and repair.
Conversely, certain cities are abolishing their additional sales and use taxes for street maintenance and repair. Cumby, in Hopkins County, will reduce its local rate by 1.25%, resulting in a new total rate of 8%. Millsap, in Parker County, will decrease its local rate by 1%, leading to a total rate of 7.75%.
New special purpose districts (SPDs) are also implementing local sales and use taxes.
Ellis County Emergency Services District No. 2 will introduce a 2% tax, excluding the cities of Midlothian and Ovilla.
Additionally, Ellis County Emergency Services District No. 2-A will impose a 1.75% tax in areas overlapping the Ovilla Municipal Development District.
Similarly, Fort Bend County Emergency Services District No. 2 will establish a 2% tax, excluding the city of Katy and certain assistance districts, while Fort Bend County Emergency Services District No. 2-A will implement a 1% tax in specific overlapping areas.
