Guadalupe County hears more about county assistance districts during public hearing Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Guadalupe County residents had the chance Tuesday to weigh in on the idea of creating one or more County Assistance Districts -- a proposal that would collect sales tax in the unincorporated areas of the county in which to fund specific needs. Although the deadline to place the matter before voters in the November election has already passed, county leaders say they still want to pursue the concept, using the coming months to gather input and address questions from constituents. The County Assistance District, if approved by voters,
would be authorized to collect a local sales tax — up to a maximum of 2 percent combined with other local taxes. It’s only in the unincorporated areas of the county where they are currently at a 6.75 percent. That’s one and a half cents below the state maximum of 8.25 percent. If approved, it could generate an additional $1.5-$1.8 million. During the public hearing, residents spoke in opposition. Terry Harper questioned whether the tax would even generate enough revenue to make a difference. Hearing, pg. 4
