Houston MTA is already inside this 8.25 percent. A Houston or Sugar Land place line is another row.
You have a sale from this city and a page that names a neighbor. The facts below have the rate. The week below splits the city on the sale from the county on the building.
Missouri City is in Fort Bend County and Harris County. The census counted 74,259 people. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller city file is 8.25%. City tax is 1%. Transit: Houston MTA 1%. No special-purpose district is listed. State tax 6.25% plus the named local pieces equals the combined 8.25%. County sales tax on the county file, not added on top of the combined city rate: Fort Bend none; Harris none. Business personal property rendition is due April 15 to the appraisal district for the county of the property (Fort Bend County or Harris County). Franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. A no-tax-due threshold exists. Its dollar amount is not printed here. Texas has no personal income tax. The permit sets monthly, quarterly, or yearly sales-tax filing. A lot sale that names the county uses the real-estate guide.
You have a week in which a Missouri City sale, a building that may stand in Fort Bend or in Harris, and a page that says Houston or Sugar Land were handled as one place. The Handbook of Texas says the name came from a St. Louis advertisement: the investors called the town Missouri City so the lots would match that pitch. You keep the naming story as the reason for the sign on the road. Your return remains a Texas return, and a page that names Houston or Sugar Land waits on that other city row until you have looked at where the money actually changed hands.
The combined sales tax on a Missouri City sale is 8.25 percent, and that figure already includes a 1 percent city tax plus Houston MTA at 1 percent. You keep Houston MTA on a sale that happened at your counter. A page whose place line says Houston goes to the Houston row, and a page whose place line says Sugar Land goes to the Sugar Land row. A customer who drove in from either city and paid you here is still your Missouri City sale. You write the city where the money changed hands, which is the city on your tape, rather than the city where the customer sleeps. Dropping Houston MTA from a true Missouri City sale, or adding it to a Houston sale, is the mix this week is for.
The building asks a different question from the sale. Fort Bend and Harris can both contain part of this city, and the appraisal district follows the county where the building stands. You write that county on the April rendition. The sales-tax city line stays Missouri City when the sale happened here, whether the walls stand in Fort Bend or in Harris. A correct county paired with the neighbor city, or this city paired with the other county roll, is the split you are making. Bring one counter tape from this city, one page that names Houston or Sugar Land, and the address you would use for the building. The first mark you get back names the city on the sale and the county on the building. You receive it while the return is still open, with time to correct the city line before you file.
A lot file that turns on the county is the real-estate guide.
