History: Under the constitution and statutes of the State of Texas, all public
housing authorities are exempt from all real and personal property
taxes and special assessments as long as they are owned by a public
body or governmental agency. Instead, annual payments (payments in
lieu of taxes (PILOT)) are made for public services and facilities. This
payment is equal to 10% of the rent collected by the housing authority
and is distributed between the taxing entities. In accordance with the
Community Services Agreement between the Round Rock Housing
Authority and the City (October 4, 1973), PILOT payments can be
waived when the housing authority incurs expenses for operating its
Community Center(s). Documentation has been submitted to the
Finance Department for these expenses, which exceeded the PILOT
requirement.
Funding:
Cost: $11,085.25
Source of Funds: Round Rock Housing Authority PILOT funds
Outside Resources: N/A
Impact: The Round Rock Housing Authority can apply PILOT dollars to its
operating expenses and save $11,085.25.
Benefit: The Housing Authority will continue to operate and maintain the
Community Centers located at Lancehaven, Westwood, and Cushing
with appropriate staff and supervision to carry out recreational and
social activities.
