Growing Texas cities, July 2016
- Jun 10, 2016 | Gail Cole
Numerous cities in Texas will either grow through annexations or shrink through disannexations, effective July 1, 2016. Most are growing, reflecting the “unprecedented population growth” the state has undergone since the turn of the last century.
The expansion or contraction of tax jurisdictions in any state often impacts sales and use tax rates in the affected areas. Anyone doing business in or around any of the cities listed below is advised to check and double-check that the proper rates of sales and use tax and Mixed Beverage Tax are being collected come July 1.
