The bill would allow a county with a population of 10,000 or less, in which two state historic sites are located, and through which the San Antonio River flows to impose a hotel occupancy tax. The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving two-thirds majority vote in each house. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2013.

Methodology Based on the population and geographical limitations set forth by the bill, Goliad County would be the only eligible county. To estimate the potential fiscal impact of this bill, data on taxable hotel receipts for Goliad County were gathered from Comptroller tax files, which were then multiplied by 7 percent. The result was then extrapolated through 2018. Local Government Impact The local fiscal implications cannot be determined as the tax rate that might be set by the county and the timing for the imposition of this tax are unknown. However, the table illustrates the fiscal impact should Goliad County adopt a 7 percent county hotel occupancy tax rate effective September 1, 2013.
