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. General Fund Sales Tax Sales Tax All other revenue The Texas Comptroller's Office posted October 2021 (Fiscal Year 2022, Period 1) collection results on December 8th, 2021. Actual receipts are dependent upon the timeliness and accuracy of sales tax payers' returns. This report provides Fort Worth's sales tax collections, a comparison of collections in the same period last year, and an estimated impact on the current year's budget. Recent years have included legislative reform on remitting sales tax to the state comptroller, effects of a historic winter storm, and the effects of a global pandemic. Activity is closely monitored and will be highlighted if significant impact is expected.

Current collections also reflect heightened growth as compared to the same month last year, due to the pandemic's suppression of prior year activity. The Texas Governor fully lifted COVID-19 restrictions in March 2021. Although the revenue trend has since been positive, we continue to note the potential volatility in future receipts if the pandemic intensifies, new restrictions are implemented, or consumer behavior changes.
