The border is the place. It is not the bucket.
You came here looking for help because a gateway day was booked as if Maverick had a second city rate. The only city row is Eagle Pass: city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, Maverick Co LFW and CDC 0.5%, combined 8.25%. Transit is blank. There is no Eagle Pass office to visit.
Maverick County's western line is the Rio Grande, opposite Mexico. Eagle Pass, the county seat, sits on the river across from Piedras Negras. The handbook says that with Highway 57 the town became a major gateway, that retailers on both sides served tourists, and that maquiladoras later gave the local economy a lift, along with manufacturing and oil finds in the 1970s and 1980s. In the early twenty-first century the county entry names petroleum production, agriculture, and tourism as the center. Cattle feeding, goats, sheep, pecans, vegetables, sorghum, and wheat are the agricultural list. Irrigation water comes through the Maverick County Irrigation Canal. Fort Duncan, established in 1849, is a museum in Eagle Pass now, and the courthouse and the fort are on the National Register. The city entry says irrigated farming strengthened the area in the 1930s and 1940s.
Maverick County is the whole area. A second county is not attached. The only city row in that county is Eagle Pass: city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, and Maverick Co LFW and CDC at 0.5%. Those three plus the state's 6.25% land on 8.25%. The transit column is empty. A place name in the same county with no city number is not given a rate on this page.
What an owner recognizes is the gateway and the irrigated fields. The percentage comes from that one city row.
Counties: Maverick (central).
Maverick County is one appraisal district. Business personal property renditions are due April 15 to that district. A single county does not make the list optional. Equipment at a gateway shop still goes on the county's form.
State sales tax is 6.25%. Eagle Pass in Maverick County is city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, Maverick Co LFW and CDC 0.5%, no transit, combined 8.25%. That is the only Maverick city row. The county file's 0.5% county sales tax matches the county column on that row. Someone who invents a second Maverick city total has left the file.
The franchise report is due May 15. The no-tax-due cutoff is in the instructions, not here. Texas has no state income tax. The sales-tax permit is still its own calendar.
Stand on the Texas bank of the river and the account still has to be a Texas account. Eagle Pass is the Maverick city row: city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, Maverick Co LFW and CDC at 0.5%, no transit, combined 8.25%. Folding the district into the city tax breaks the return even when the customer paid 8.25%. A place in the county with no city number does not get a second total on this page.
Maquiladoras, storefronts facing Piedras Negras, and fields watered by the irrigation canal are the picture. None of them picks the percentage. The place written on the paper does. Leave the ranch ledger untouched. A paper that says Piedras Negras stays out of the Texas columns. Maverick Co LFW and CDC keeps the spelling printed on the rate row. What the bank kept after its fee only confirms that the money arrived.
Read the city number on the Eagle Pass row before a second Maverick total gets invented. Approve the margin report from the chair you are already sitting in. Fort Duncan's museum is not a drop window. Stay in Eagle Pass. Pecans, goats, and sorghum do not create another city row. Irrigated vegetables and wheat from the same handbook list are Eagle Pass sales when the slip names that city. The district stays its own 0.5% line beside the 1% city tax and the 0.5% county tax. A gateway weekend does not add a second Maverick city to the file.
A store, a ranch, or a shop floor each have a longer guide. Start from the list.
