On November 5, 2024, voters in Emergency Services District No. 8 approved Proposition A: the adoption of up to a 2% sales and use tax to fund local emergency services, bringing the total tax rate to 8.25%. This tax applies to all goods purchased in ESD 8 and with online retailers. 

The sales tax revenue helps ESD 8 maintain and enhance emergency services through its partnership with Georgetown Fire Department, supporting the construction of new fire stations and the purchase of life-saving emergency equipment. Thank you to ESD 8 voters for your support!
