Information
Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action authorizing the submission of a Supplemental Brief on Pending Attorney General's Opinion Request RQ-0481-KP submitted by Senator Bettencourt on October 10, 2022 regarding the authority of a public facility corporation (PFC) sponsored by a municipal management abstract to purchase and acquire property outside the district's boundary.
Background
It has recently come to the court's attention that a small special district in Travis County has created an entity called the Texas Essential Housing Public Facility Corporation (PFC). This PFC corporation has claimed that it is 100% tax-exempt for property it owns in Jarrell, Texas. Senator Bettencourt has filed a Request for Opinion with the Texas Attorney General's office regarding the legality of a small special district in Travis County being able to create tax-exempt entities in Williamson County without the knowledge or approval of the County, City or School District. This action allows the Williamson County Commissioners Court to submit a Supplemental Brief to the Attorney General's office in support of Senator Bettencourt's request.
