How Terrell Hills's 8% sales tax rate breaks down
Terrell Hills's combined 8% rate is built from: 6.25% Texas state rate + 1.25% city rate + 0.5% transit (SPD) rate + 0.5% San Antonio MTA. Texas caps combined local sales tax at 2% on top of the 6.25% state rate, for a statewide ceiling of 8.25% — Terrell Hills's 1.75% of local add-ons leaves room under that 2% local cap.
The city portion funds Terrell Hills directly, while the transit (SPD) share funds a regional transit authority and the additional district(s) above fund special local purposes. Source: Texas Comptroller, city rates data.
