Proposition A
A Special Election was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters of Helotes, Texas, the question of increasing the local sales and use tax rate by 0.25% (“quarter-cent”). This question was on the ballot as Proposition A. The increase would change the existing sales and use tax rate from 1.00% to 1.25%
Revenue from the quarter-cent sales and use tax increase would be allocated to the City of Helotes General Fund. The City Council has identified the need for additional police officers and has prioritized these positions to be paid for by this sales tax increase. Proceeds in the General Fund pay for services that include police, fire, the maintenance and beautification of City parks, public works, special community events, and infrastructure improvements.
