For voters in the City of Georgetown, the Nov. 6 ballot includes Proposition A on the reauthorization of a dedicated sales tax for street maintenance in Georgetown. Proposition A reads, “The reauthorization of the local sales and use tax in the City of Georgetown, Texas, at the rate of one?fourth of one percent to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets.” The sales tax for street maintenance has a four-year sunset provision and must be reauthorized by the voters every four years. Proposition A is the only municipal item on the Nov. 6 ballot.

The sales tax was first approved by voters in 2002. Since 2003, the 0.25 percent tax has raised more than $31 million to fund street maintenance projects in the City of Georgetown.
