Did you know? As a Type B economic development corporation, Henderson Texas EDC receives sales tax funding, not city property tax dollars.

For every $1 in taxable purchases made within Henderson city limits, ½ cent of the sales tax collected goes to Henderson Texas EDC. That means residents and visitors both contribute when they shop in Henderson.

Local shoppers. Visiting shoppers. Shared support.
