Special Election – Street Maintenance Sales & Use Tax Renewal

  March 21, 2025

The City of Alamo Heights will hold an election on Saturday, May 3, 2025, asking voters to reauthorize the one-half of one percent sales and use tax to continue to provide revenue for the maintenance and repair of existing city streets.  This tax was first approved and adopted by citizens in 2008.

The State of Texas allows municipalities to collect a sales and use tax exclusively for the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing public street (Tax Code Chapter 327.006).  This same law currently requires that voters reauthorize the tax every four years.

The one-half cent sales and use tax will generate approximately $847,000 each year, allowing the City to address the funding challenge associated with the maintenance of the City’s existing streets.

Early Voting will begin on Tuesday, April 22nd through Tuesday, April 29th utilizing the Voter Center Model.  The Voter Center Model allows voters to vote at any designated Bexar County polling site on Election Day, as one does during Early Voting period.  Click here to for a list of early voting polling sites.  City Hall is an Election Day polling site on Saturday, May 3rd with polling hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  The AHISD Admin.
