Here's what Corpus Christi voters need to know about sales taxes on the ballot

How the city uses two voter-approved sales taxes will be on the ballot for the first time in more than two decades — meaning residents can choose whether to continue the sales taxes under their proposed new purposes.

Proposition E and Proposition F request that voters reauthorize the two existing sales taxes and reallocate the revenue for a spread of projects in the downtown area, citywide flood mitigation and work on certain types of streets.

If approved, Proposition E and Proposition F would be in effect for 20 years, according to ballot language.

City officials estimate each sales tax would garner about $200 million over the term, a city-published informational booklet shows.
