AUSTIN, Texas — Action group Save Austin Now PAC wants the city to undergo an audit, and it's asking for community support.

In a release sent Friday morning, the committee said it's joining "a broad coalition of city leaders" in an effort to update the May 2026 ballot to include an audit requirement. It created a petition with the hopes of gathering 25,000 signatures by Feb. 1, 2026.

According to the memo, the group wants the audit to be conducted within one year of a contract, then every five years. It says an independent contractor would need to be chosen within a 120-day period, and that they would have to find savings "that exceed the cost" of their work.

If the city holds another tax rate election, the committee wants an audit to be finished at least one year prior to this vote.
