Georgetown street-maintenance sales tax renewal goes to November ballot

Georgetown voters will consider reauthorizing the city’s quarter-cent street-maintenance sales tax on November 3, 2026. The council called the election in August.

According to the city’s election notice, the proposition renews the existing 0.25 percent tax rather than increasing the sales-tax rate. The dedicated revenue supports street resurfacing and repair, and reauthorization is required every four years.

The city reports that the tax generated $7 million in 2025 and that 313.5 lane-miles of streets have received maintenance since 2022. Those figures describe the city’s reported program activity, not a promise that every street will be resurfaced.

The notice lists October 5 as the voter-registration deadline and October 19–30 as early voting. Residents should confirm their registration, polling location and hours through official election resources.

The city’s announcement links to the streets scheduled for maintenance, giving residents a practical way to review the program alongside the ballot question.
