ESD’s are allowed, by statue, to levy ad valorem property taxes with a constitutional cap at $0.10/$100 property valuation.

In the State of Texas there is a maximum sales and use tax of 8.25%; 6.25% is reserved for the Sate and 2% is allowed for other political subdivisions to collect. In order for an ESD to implement the collection of a sales and use tax the citizens of the District must approve the amount through an election process.
