In Texas residents of the least populous counties pay a higher per capita burden of local non property taxes than those in the most populous counties. Steve Matthews of the Texas Municipal League spoke in Uvalde at an area city leaders meeting about recent TML findings.
Mathews notes wide non property tax per capita spreads across states with Texas showing a large metropolitan county disparity. He cites Massachusetts and Rhode Island as exceptions where the reverse ratio occurs but with smaller spreads. Texas statewide per capita non-property tax is $5.69, with other states ranging from $9,151 in New York to $14.50 in Florida. The research emphasizes Texas pattern as notably uneven.
The article notes that nationwide postwar trends show non-property tax revenues rising with population, except in Texas where populous counties lean more on property taxes. It contrasts Texas with Massachusetts Rhode Island and other states, highlighting higher per capita non-property taxes in some counties and lower levels in rural areas.
