The bill would amend Chapter 351 of the Tax Code, relating to Municipal Hotel Occupancy Taxes, to add Section 351.152(46), adding a municipality with a population of 115,000 or more that borders the Neches River, 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 Beaumont.Beaumont would be eligible to receive funds described in Sections 351.156, relating to Entitlement to Certain Tax Revenue, which provides, in relevant part, that a municipality to which Section 351.152 applies is 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. Section 351.158, relating to Period of Entitlement, would entitle Beaumont to receive the revenue until the tenth anniversary of the date the qualified hotel to which the entitlement relates is open for initial occupancy.The city of Beaumont has tentative plans for a qualified hotel and could avail itself of the tax rebates should eligibility be acquired through this legislation. The estimate is based on a projected opening date of September 1, 2026, or state fiscal year 2027, a comparison and review of revenues paid to the owners of extant qualified hotel projects, and estimated attributes of such prospective hotel.
