The MRGDC and all Councils of Government are expressly prohibited from levying any tax whatsoever by the Texas Local Government Code that created them. Its efforts are supported by local government dues and federal and state contract funds. Having no dedicated tax base, the Council operates like a business; dependent upon the market for its services and the willingness of people and agencies to pay for them.
