Why the rate here is not the whole story
Jim Hogg County levies its own sales tax of 1 percent on top of the 6.25 percent state rate, and that part applies countywide. No city, transit authority or partial special purpose district adds anything further, so the same total holds throughout. A countywide special purpose district applies as well (Jim Hogg County Assistance District, Jim Hogg County Health Services), which lifts the floor across the county. The Comptroller lists 8.25 percent for every location in the county, so unusually for Texas one figure does cover the whole county. Texas caps the combined local share at 2 percent, so no address here exceeds 8.25 percent.
