Kerrville to Consider Tax on Non-Retaining Property
What happened
The city of Kerrville is set to consider a tax on solid-surface property, defined as property that does not retain rainwater, on October 27. This measure is being explored because the city's drainage and sewer system has become overloaded due to community growth. Separately, the Upper Guadalupe River Authority is planning to establish its new headquarters in Kerrville.
Why it matters
The city is addressing infrastructure strain caused by growth, which could change property development costs and municipal revenue streams. The tax targets properties that do not retain rainwater, a measure related to managing excessive runoff.
