Sales tax revenue represents approximately twenty-two percent (22.4%) of the City's General Fund
anticipated revenue in Fiscal Year 2020. It is the second largest revenue source, with property tax being
the largest. In addition, sales tax revenue represents the largest revenue source in the Crime Control
and Prevention District Fund. Staff is committed to providing regular updates on this important and
sometimes volatile revenue source. The Texas Comptroller's Office posted September 2020 (Fiscal
Year 2020, Period 12) collection results on November 11th, 2020. Actual receipts are dependent upon
the timeliness and accuracy of sales taxpayers' returns. This report provides Fort Worth's sales tax
collection compared to last year and the impact on the current year's budget. The sales tax activity is
being closely monitored to report on the impacts of COVID-19 and the Texas legislation that reformed
how sales tax is remitted to the state comptroller.
