Digest
HB 5252 amends multiple sections of the Local Government Code and Tax Code to modify the authority of municipalities in adopting, increasing, decreasing, or repealing additional sales and use taxes for property tax relief. The bill allows municipal governing bodies to change sales tax rates by ordinance or resolution without requiring a public election. It also updates procedures related to annexation and tax ballot propositions.
