Bowie County daycare centers receive local tax relief

Qualified child care facilities in Bowie County will save some money thanks to a property tax exemption.

The Bowie County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a county-wide property tax exemption for qualified child care facilities during their March meeting. The City of DeKalb passed the same measure to exempt facilities located in the city.

The exemption is a measure passed by the Texas Legislature which allowed Texas counties and cities to exempt certain child care facilities from local property taxes.
