The Texas Tax Code allows municipalities to allocate a portion of HOT funds to organizations categorized as either arts or heritage groups, said Assistant City Secretary Matthew Schwarz. HOT funds are collected from all providers of temporary lodging in New Braunfels, such as hotels, motels and short-term rentals like Airbnb. The city’s arts commission and heritage commission review applications to ensure that organizations and their proposed projects meet the qualifying criteria under the tax code. Arts organizations must promote programs that attract tourists and enhance the arts, including music, dance, drama, creative writing and visual arts, Schwarz said. Heritage organizations must focus on historical restoration, preservation, or promotional e orts that encourage tourism to historic sites or museums, Schwarz said.
