UMunidpal StreetsR Defined 'vlunicipal street means the entire ."idth of right of way designated by a city for vehicular travel. The term does not include a designated state or fed- eral highway or road or a designated county road. [Refer to V.T.CA, Tax Code 9327.001] EXPIRATION AND REAUTHORIZATION OF THE TAX The street maintenance sales tax expires four years after it takes effect unless voters authorize continuance in an election held for that purpose. The election to reauthorize the tax must be held on one of the four uniform elec- . tion dates listed above. The ballot proposition language should read as follows: "The reauthorization of the local sales and use tax in (name of municipality) at the rate of (insert 1/8 of 7 percent or 1/4 of 7 per- cent) to continue providing revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets. " The municipality must notify the Comptroller of the scheduled expira- tion or successful continuance before the date the tax is to expire. [Refer to V.T.CA., Tax Code 9327.007] If an election to reauthorize the tax is not held before the tax expires or if votes cast in an election to reauthorize the tax do not favor reauthorization, the municipality may not call an elec- tion on the question of authorizing a new tax under this chapter before the first anniversary of the date on which the tax expired.
