About the Type A Sales Tax

The Hutto Economic Development Corporation is funded by a half cent sales tax for economic development that was approved by Hutto voters in 1997. Organized as a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation and subject to Section 4A of the Development Corporation Act of 1979, law dictates how Hutto Economic Development Corporation funds may be expended.
