Nonresident Card Fees

- Individual: $25 per year
- Senior (65+): $20 per year

Why Are Nonresident Card Fees Increasing?
All library operating expenses, including supplies, utilities, salaries, and digital and physical materials, are funded entirely through sales tax revenue generated by purchases made at businesses within Liberty Hill city limits. The library receives 0.25 percent, or one quarter of one cent per dollar spent.
In Texas, the sales tax rate is capped at 8.25 percent. The State of Texas receives 6.25 percent, and up to 2 percent remains for local entities. From that local portion, the library receives one-quarter of one cent. For example, on a 25 dollar purchase, 2.06 dollars in sales tax is collected, and the library receives 6.25 cents.
Nonresident card fees help offset the cost of serving a growing service area and rising operating expenses, and remain comparable to fees charged by nearby public libraries.
Lost or Expired Cards:
Don’t panic! Library cards expire annually and can be renewed at no charge for patrons residing within the District, and for the applicable annual fee for those residing outside the District boundaries. Cards may be renewed before the expiration date by calling the library, visiting in person, or logging in to your online account. Replacement cards for lost or damaged cards are available for a $2 fee.
