The 2025 New Braunfels staff reports proposed raising HD Supply's NBEDC rebate from 50% to 100% and lowering its city general-fund rebate from 50% to 33.3%. The percentages point in opposite directions because the proposal addresses two city sales-tax streams.
The 2025 staff reports described both earlier rebate percentages as 50%, one for NBEDC and one for the city's general fund. For New Braunfels residents, the proposal would direct more of the development corporation's sales-tax receipts toward HD Supply while reducing the general-fund rebate percentage.
From the source record
These percentages apply to distinct city tax streams. They are proposed terms, not verified payments, and must not be added together.
How the proposed shares work
Think of each percentage as a rule for its own stream of sales-tax receipts, rather than a slice of one combined pot. City staff described the NBEDC share as forgone revenue rather than a direct expenditure. The staff reports proposed extending the agreement to Dec. 5, 2036. Those are the terms staff described in 2025; the actual executed amendment and payment records would establish the operative deal.
| Government and stream | Earlier or invoice period | Proposed share or listed amount | Record status |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBEDC sales-tax rebate | 50% | 100% | 2025 city staff proposal |
| City general-fund rebate | 50% | 33.3% | 2025 city staff proposal |
| Comal County rebate | March 2026 | $111,548.35 | April 30 check register |
| Comal County rebate claim | November 2025 | $52,472.74 | Jan. 29 packet: Edit |
The city percentages concern distinct tax streams. The county dollar entries concern different periods; the January claim is not a verified payment.
The county check is a different transaction
Comal County's April 30, 2026, payment register records check 212393 for $111,548.35 to HD Supply Facilities Maintenance, Ltd., for a March 2026 sales-tax rebate. That is an actual county check entry, not a dollar measure of either proposed city percentage.
