AUSTIN — Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock announced Monday, Dec. 15, the launch of the Local Government Bond, Tax, and Project Transparency Database, an online tool providing public access to current and historical information on local government bonds, voter-approved tax rate elections and related projects across Texas.
According to a press release, the database provides centralized, publicly accessible data intended to help taxpayers better understand how local bond issuances and tax rate elections affect property tax burdens.
“This database empowers taxpayers with timely, accessible information on bonds, tax rate elections and project spending,” Hancock said. “It reflects our commitment to transparency and informed decision- making across Texas communities.”
