The big three agree. The small rows do not.
You searched because someone treated McAllen, Edinburg, and Mission as three rates. On the Hidalgo file they match: city tax 2%, no county tax, no transit, combined 8.25%. Granjeno is 7.25%. Progreso Lakes is 7.75%. Hidalgo is the only county. There is no McAllen office to visit.
Hidalgo stands alone here. Edinburg holds the courthouse and the University of Texas-Pan American. Hidalgo County is central, and nothing in the delineation is outlying. The county page's work is food plants, other agribusiness, visitors, and minerals. Sugar cane, vegetables, grain, citrus, cotton, and cattle are the products. McAllen's page adds the City of Palms nickname, a foreign-trade zone late in the 1980s, the Texas Citrus Fiesta, and visitors tied to the Mexican side. Mission's page defines winter Texans as people from colder climates who spend the season here, and it records Moore Air Force Base as a 1940s training field that later changed uses. Mission's fiesta note salutes Ruby Red and Star Ruby grapefruit.
The title cities do not disagree. McAllen, Edinburg, Mission, Pharr, and Weslaco each show a 2% city column, an empty county column, an empty authority column, and the cap. Granjeno's city column is 1%, so the figure is 7.25%. Progreso Lakes' city column is 1.5%, so the figure is 7.75%. No authority is listed on any of these lines. The state piece plus the city column is the whole of each one.
A packing Saturday can hold citrus, a winter stay, and a campus counter. The city printed on the tape is still the fact.
Counties: Hidalgo (central).
One appraisal district. Hidalgo still receives the business personal property rendition on April 15 for property in the county. McAllen and Mission do not merge that list just because their city tax matches.
State sales tax is 6.25%. McAllen, Edinburg, and Mission are city tax 2%, county tax 0, no transit, combined 8.25%. Pharr and Weslaco match them. Granjeno is city tax 1%, county tax 0, no transit, combined 7.25%. Progreso Lakes is city tax 1.5%, county tax 0, no transit, combined 7.75%.
Name the city on the ticket before you file. The franchise report is due May 15. Texas has no state income tax. The combined cap is 8.25%. The permit sets the sales-tax calendar.
Quit hunting a difference among McAllen, Edinburg, and Mission. Those lines match, and Pharr and Weslaco match them: city column 2%, county column empty, authority column empty, the cap. The odd tapes are Granjeno at 7.25% on a 1% city column and Progreso Lakes at 7.75% on a 1.5% city column. The courthouse and the University of Texas-Pan American are in Edinburg. The citrus festival and the City of Palms are McAllen's page. Winter Texans and the old Moore field are Mission's page. Shed, park, and campus counter stay three stacks even when the cap matches.
Include the small-city tapes when you forward the form. The shed's inventory method stays as it is. Steven looks first for a Granjeno or Progreso Lakes charge that was rung at the 2% city column the larger cities use. Pharr and Weslaco really do match the title cities. That match is not a reason to skip a Granjeno tape that never left Hidalgo. The list comes back with days still left. You remain in the Valley. This practice has no counter in McAllen, Edinburg, or Mission.
A grapefruit still on the tree is inventory. A winter stay counts only when a tape says someone paid. Minerals named on the county page do not invent a second county. The rendition still goes to Hidalgo.
Mission's winter Texans are a season, not an extra county. Moore Field's later lives are history on that page. A Ruby Red box and a campus charge at the University of Texas-Pan American can both be honest and still need the city the tape already printed. Pharr matching Edinburg does not pull Granjeno up to a 2% city column.
A trade other than citrus, a visitor stay, or a campus counter starts on the industry list.
