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.
  • Houston and Harris County local hotel taxes. Houston First official HOT guidance gives a Houston example of 17% total: 6% Texas state, 7% City of Houston/Houston First, 2% Harris County, and 2% Harris County-Houston Sports Authority. This calculator includes only the 6% state line; the 11 percentage points of named local layers are disclosed as factors because the exact property boundary and collection/reporting applicability still need confirmation.
