There could be a negative fiscal impact to a county that chose to contract with a municipality and exercise the authority to reject vehicle registrations resulting in a revenue loss.
According to the Williamson County Tax Assessor-Collector, counties that choose to enter into a contract with a municipality and exercise the authority to reject vehicle registrations or renewals could experience a significant fiscal impact for costs associated with additional staffing, time and enforcement.
According to the Texas Municipal League (TML), municipalities that entered into a contract with a county or the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles would experience a positive fiscal impact for revenue from the payment of unpaid traffic fines.
