Key takeaway The arena would be the future home of the Dallas Stars.
The Plano City Council has voted to hold a special election on November 3, 2026. Voters will be asked to authorize taxes to help finance a proposed sports and entertainment arena. The arena would be the future home of the Dallas Stars.
The proposed taxes include a short-term motor vehicle rental tax, event parking tax, event admissions tax, and venue facility use tax. A hotel occupancy tax is also part of the proposal. Further details on the proposal, including the specific tax rates, are available from the city.
The special election will give voters the opportunity to decide on the proposal.
