More sales tax needed – Kyle aims for commerce boost to balance rooftops

A lack of sales tax revenue stemming from too many homes and not enough businesses is leading city officials to strategize methods of bringing more commerce to the city.

So far in fiscal year 2018, the city has collected a total of $17,542,232 dollars of sales and property tax revenue, with 78 percent of that amount coming from property taxes.

According to the city of Kyle Economic Development Strategic Plan, the city outlines methods to expand economic development through target industries that can aid the city’s growth.
