Liberty Hill calls May special election to renew street maintenance sales tax
The city of Liberty Hill will hold a special election May 2 to reauthorize the city’s 0.25% Street Maintenance Sales and Use Tax, which will be used to maintain city streets, according to a presentation to City Council on Feb. 11.
Josh Armstrong, finance director for the city of Liberty Hill, told Community Impact that regardless of the election outcome, the total sales tax in Liberty Hill will remain 8.25%.
“If the funding were to lapse, it would not reduce the total sales tax rate,” Armstrong said in the presentation to council members. “The difference would then just be reallocated to the [Emergency Services District] in our area.”
Voters last approved the Street Maintenance Sales and Use Tax in 2022 for a four-year period that is set to expire in September unless reauthorized. If voters reauthorized the tax, it would remain in effect for another four years. The funds can only be used for maintenance of city roads, not county or state roads, Armstrong said.
