What's on the ballot?

Voters will decide whether or not to pass the Bexar County venue tax, which would raise the hotel occupancy tax, HOT, from 1.75% to 2%. Funds from the HOT and the 5% tax on short-term car rentals will be used to fund multiple venue projects.

The venue tax is divided into two propositions, with Proposition A funding repairs and renovations to the Frost Bank Center and Freeman Coliseum, as well as the expansion of the grounds into a permanent home for the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. Proposition B will fund a portion of the downtown Spurs arena.
