Assumptions used

  • State base only: The local tax layer remains a disclosed factor because the legacy review did not close a uniform official taxable base and boundary for this city slug.

What may change the final amount

  • Local hotel-tax applicability. Texas city, county, venue, sports-authority, or other local hotel-occupancy-tax layers can vary by property boundary and local taxable-base rules. The state line is modeled here; add local layers only after the official local base and boundary are closed.
  • Stay and mandatory-fee treatment. A 30-day-or-longer permanent-resident treatment, statutory exemption, marketplace collection arrangement, or local treatment of mandatory fees can change the result. The calculator assumes an ordinary transient taxable stay and one mandatory-fee pool.
  • Galveston local hotel occupancy tax. Galveston official pages confirm a city HOT program, RentalScape registration, filing, and payment workflow for STRs, but the reopened page set does not expose a current local rate or a complete county/venue boundary table. No local rate is guessed or added to the calculator; verify the current official rate and applicable district before filing.
