Travis County voters will decide whether to raise property taxes to help expand child care through child care subsidies and an employer incentive program.

Travis County Proposition A would add 2.5 cents per $100 of property valuation. The tax rate increase would cost the average Travis County homeowner $126 more per year.

The tax would raise some $75 million in the first year. Travis County estimates the money would fund nearly 6,000 spaces in child care or after-school and summer programs. These places would be reserved for children from families earning 85% or less of the income median family income. This represents an annual income of approximately $100,000 for a family of four.

Tax revenue would also be used to incentivize businesses to make child care an employee benefit by matching employer contributions.
