Missouri City city, Missouri

What does this measure do?
Opposes: Cost of Living Reduction
Missouri City would charge a local use tax, a tax on online and out-of-state purchases that now skip city sales tax, at the same 1% rate as its sales tax. Buyers would pay about $1 more per $100 on those purchases, and the rate would move with any voter-approved sales tax change.
Proposed by: Missouri City City Council
The city's elected council (the mayor and ward members). Its Aug. 10, 2026 meeting notes say it put the use tax on the Nov. 3 ballot. A use tax is a sales tax on out-of-state purchases.
