Fiscal Analysis
The bill would add a municipality with a population of 10,000 or more but less than 75,000, located in two counties, one of which is a county in which the State Capitol is located, and hosts an annual German festival, to the list of municipalities that are entitled to receive certain tax revenue derived from a hotel and convention center project and to pledge certain revenue for the payment of obligations related to the project.
Methodology
The bill's provisions would affect the City of Pflugerville.
Pflugerville would be entitled to receive from the qualified hotel and each restaurant, bar, and retail establishment located in or connected to the hotel or the related qualified convention center facility, the state sales and use tax and the state hotel occupancy tax. Pflugerville would be entitled to receive the revenue derived from the state sales and use taxes and state hotel occupancy tax. Pflugerville would be entitled to receive the revenue until the tenth anniversary of the date the qualified hotel to which the entitlement relates is open for initial occupancy.
Pflugerville has plans for a qualified hotel and could avail itself of the tax rebates under section 351.156 of the Tax Code should eligibility be acquired through this legislation. The estimate is based on a projected opening date of September 1, 2029, or state fiscal year 2030, a comparison and review of revenues paid to the owners of extant qualified hotel projects, and estimated attributes of such prospective hotel.
