Sealy Economic Development Corporation

Since 1979, Texas law has allowed cities to form economic development corporations to attract businesses and create job opportunities.

On May 3, 1997, City of Sealy voters elected to adopt this additional sales tax under Section 4B of the Development Corporation Act of 1979. The Section 4B tax provides cities with a range of uses of the tax revenues intended to allow communities to undertake projects to provide economic development and quality of life improvements.
