Flower Mound Voters Renew the Quarter-Cent Street Tax, 76.57% to 23.43%

Nothing changes on your receipt at checkout. What Tuesday's vote decided was what the town can do with one specific quarter-cent already embedded in that 8.25 percent rate — and the answer is four more years of road work.

Flower Mound's Proposition A passed Tuesday, Nov. 3, with 76.57% in favor — 20,309 yes votes to 6,213 against. The measure reauthorizes the Dedicated Street Maintenance Sales Tax for another four years, directing one-quarter of one cent of the town's sales tax to road work and capital projects. It wasn't close.

That money covers full-depth pavement reconstruction, concrete panel replacements, asphalt overlays, pothole patching, alley repairs, and snow removal — plus the crew that does the work. In the last fiscal year alone, the Street Reconstruction Fund pulled in $4.6 million from that quarter-cent.

Since the last reauthorization in 2022, $19.8 million in dedicated funds have supported street maintenance, reconstruction, maintenance personnel, and 16 major street projects. Among them: a concrete panel replacement along Flower Mound Road between Long Prairie Road and Quail Run Road, panel work on Lakeside Parkway, and a full rebuild of the Timber Creek Road and College Parkway intersection.

Flower Mound voters first approved the tax in November 2007. They have reauthorized it every four years since — in 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2022. Texas law ties the tax's lifespan to its authorizing election: without a renewal vote, it lapses four years after that election was held. The cycle comes back around in 2030.

No action needed from residents. The street money is authorized, the rate is unchanged, and the next renewal vote is four years out.
