Arlington sales tax increase likely headed to voters
ARLINGTON, Texas - People in Arlington may be asked to raise their own taxes.
The city council is talking about a proposed sales tax increase that comes up next week, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
It could be on the May 2 ballot and would raise Arlington’s sales tax by a quarter-point from 8 to 8.25 percent.
That matches most other cities and is the highest allowed by law in Texas.
The city said it might also provide some property tax relief.
