LOG NAME: 13SUP APPROP TC TAX OFFICE
SUBJECT:
Adopt Supplemental Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Receipts and Appropriations in the General Fund
in the Amount of$25,968.60 and Decreasing the Unassigned Fund Balance by the Same Amount for the
Purpose of Making Additional Payments to the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector for the Tax
Assessment and Collection Services for Fiscal Year 2013 Bringing the Total Payment Amount to
$327,558.60 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance
increasing the receipts and appropriations in the General Fund in the amount of$25,968.60 and
decreasing the unassigned fund balance by the same amount for the purpose of making additional
payment to the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector for tax assessment and collection services for
Fiscal Year 2013 bringing the total payment amount to $327,558.60.
DISCUSSION:
On July 10, 2012, (M&C C-25674) the City Council authorized the execution of an Agreement between the
Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector and the City of Fort Worth for providing assessment and collection
services of ad valorem taxes levied by the City of Fort Worth for Fiscal Year 2013. That Mayor and
Council Communication (M&C) authorized a total payment estimated in the amount of$301,590.00, which
was based on providing service at a cost of$0.90 per account for an estimated 335,100 accounts.
On January 14, 2013, the City of Fort Worth received the final invoice for assessment and collection
services, which reflected an actual total of 363,954 accounts at a cost in the amount of$327,558.60. The
per-account rate of$0.90 remained unchanged.
Of the 28,854 additional accounts, the great majority(95 percent or more) are related to mineral interest
(gas well) properties that represent approximately the amount of $140,000,000.00 in market
value. Although the Tarrant Appraisal District's third party appraisal contractor provides data for most new
accounts in the April - May timeframe, they also supplement the tax roll throughout the fall and winter,
which is the reason for most of the unanticipated additional accounts that were added after the original
M&C was approved.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current
operating budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund.
