Buda City Council members on Tuesday approved a series of measures to provide relief to its residents during the coronavirus pandemic including waiving April and May utility late fees and disconnects.
Buda also suspended food truck vendor fees as well as city-processed credit card transaction fees.
To operate in Buda, mobile food vendors pay a fee between $45-$55 each quarter. Fees for April, May and June will not be collected.

Beginning Wednesday, Buda residents making a credit card payment to the city either in-person or over-the-phone will no longer be charged the $2.75 credit card transaction fee for the next two months. Online payments to the city, however, will still incur a transaction fee charged by Buda’s financial software provider Tyler Technologies, Inc. The city doesn’t charge an additional fee for online payments.
City Council members also approved waiving $8,000 in license use fees for the Inspired Minds Art Center in downtown Buda. The center opened in January in the former Buda City Hall through a public-private partnership formed to assist Buda’s arts program. The center’s classes have been closed since mid-March.
