Guadalupe County Weighs $22,002 Sales Tax Rebate for Seguin Firm

A budget amendment before Guadalupe County’s Commissioners Court would move $22,002 to cover two quarterly payments under a Chapter 381 sales tax rebate agreement with a Seguin company. Budget Amendment #26-103 was listed as action item 8H on the court’s Oct. 27, 2026 agenda. The agenda text described the purpose of the transfer but not its size.

Why it matters

Chapter 381 of the Texas Local Government Code lets a county return a share of sales tax revenue to a business under a negotiated agreement, usually tied to an investment or jobs commitment. Before the county can pay a rebate, it has to fund a dedicated budget line, which is what this amendment does. The county record names the counterparty only by its property entity, and no operating brand appears on the item.

For builders and brokers in Seguin and the wider Guadalupe County market, the filing confirms the county has an active Chapter 381 sales tax deal on its books. It also shows how the payments surface: as routine budget transfers, not as separate incentive votes.

The numbers

• $22,002 would move from a consulting line, account 100-409-520.4030, into the Tax Reimbursement/Abatement line, account 100-409-520.4991, both in the General Fund’s Non-Departmental budget.
• The amendment covers the Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 payments due, with an apply date of Sept. 30, 2026, the last day of the county’s 2026 fiscal year.
• The agreement itself, which would set the rebate rate, the term and the company’s commitment, was not attached to the item.

What’s next

The item was posted for discussion and a possible motion, and the county’s agenda page did not show a record of the court’s action. Later quarterly payments under the same agreement would need funding in the county budget as they come due.
