| Component | Summary | Effective | Coverage | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TX individual income tax policy | Texas did not levy an individual income tax in tax years 2024 or 2025. Article VIII, Section 24-a of the state constitution provides that the legislature may not impose a tax on the net incomes of individuals, and Section 1(c) extends the legislature's power to tax incomes only to corporations other than municipal. | Tax years 2024 and 2025; reviewed September 19, 2026. | Not levied | Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Sections 1(c) and 24-a; Texas Comptroller, Texas taxes and fees A to Z |
| TX local individual income tax authority | No Texas local government levies an income, wage or payroll tax for tax years 2024 and 2025. One statute, Transportation Code §451.401, lets a metropolitan rapid transit authority — Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi — "impose any kind of tax except an ad valorem property tax." For a tax on income, wages or payroll, its board must first adopt a tax code and voters must approve the tax in an election (§§451.402–451.403). The same goes for a district such an authority creates (§451.707(d)); San Antonio has the only one. None has; each levies only a sales tax. | Tax years 2024 and 2025; reviewed September 19, 2026. | Not levied | Texas Constitution, Article XI, Sections 4 and 5 (local taxing power exists only as authorized by law); Texas Transportation Code, Chapter 451, Sections 451.401 to 451.403 and 451.707; Texas Comptroller, transit sales and use tax; U.S. Census Bureau, 2022 Census of Governments finance datasets (individual unit file) |
| TX sales and use tax (base) | Texas state sales and use tax rate is 6.25%; local sales/use taxes can add up to 2% (maximum combined 8.25%). | Current Comptroller guidance (as accessed April 18, 2026). | Rate missing | Local sales and use tax collection - guide for sellers; Texas use tax |
| TX property tax policy (local taxing units) | Texas has no state property tax; local taxing units set rates and collect property taxes. | Current Comptroller property-tax guidance (as accessed April 18, 2026). | Needs review | Property tax assistance; Property tax system basics |
