Parmer County court adopts resolution asking Legislature to exempt county employees from state hotel occupancy tax
Summary
The Parmer County Commissioners Court unanimously adopted a resolution asking the Texas Legislature to add county officials and employees to the list of entities exempt from the state hotel occupancy tax, citing parity with federal and state officials already exempt under existing law.
The Parmer County Commissioners Court unanimously adopted a resolution on Jan. 13 asking the Texas Legislature to exempt county officials and employees from the state hotel occupancy tax.
Commissioner Kirk Frye introduced the resolution, noting that federal agencies and state government officials and employees already receive the exemption under Texas law and that counties across Texas are seeking legislative change to add county officials and employees to the same exemption list. Commissioner Kenny White seconded the motion; the court approved the resolution unanimously.
The resolution is intended as a legislative request rather than an immediate change in county policy; the court did not set a local ordinance or modify county tax rules. The transcript does not provide the resolution text or identify a sponsor to carry the request in the Legislature. The court attached the resolution to the meeting record for distribution.
