Receipted Bills
Paid receipted bills must support all expenses claimed, except
the displacee’s search time. Meals need an itemized receipt. When
a displaced business or business owner’s vehicle is used and receipts
for transportation expenses are not available, transportation expenses
may be supported by documented miles traveled. The mileage rate
must be the same as that paid by TxDOT for employees’ personal cars
used for business. Eligible expenses for lodging include the daily
room rate, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the state rate in the
search area, and any applicable taxes. The paid lodging receipt
must include the dates of arrival and departure and the daily room
and tax rates.
