Background

The Bexar County Commissioners Court created the Sloane Oak Special Improvement District on a property owners' petition under Chapter 382 of the Texas Local Government Code, after the City of San Antonio consented by resolution on June 11, 2026, according to the district's posted creation order.

The order says the district lies outside any city's full-purpose limits with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, may fund improvements and economic development programs instead of assessments, and may impose its ad valorem tax (up to $0.54159 per $100) and sales tax (up to 2%) only with district voters' approval.

This proposition would authorize refunding bonds for the district's water, sewer and drainage bonds; the order allows district taxes to repay costs through bond issuances with voter approval.

Put on the ballot by Bexar County Commissioners Court created the district on petition; election called by the district board.
