§ 100251 Local Tax Ordinance Timing

This law says that any local sales or use tax rules that a city or county adopts must follow the state rules laid out in Section 7265 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

Key Takeaways

  • •Local tax ordinances must line up with state tax law (Section 7265).
  • •The rule becomes active only when it follows those state requirements.
  • •The law was updated in 2007 and took effect on Jan 1, 2008.

Example

A town decides to add a new use‑tax rule for people who buy goods out of state and bring them in.

Because of this law, the town’s new rule can only work if it follows the procedures and limits that Section 7265 of the state tax code sets. If it doesn’t, the rule can’t be used.
