SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS

Hotel/Motel Tax Fund

The Hotel/Motel Tax Fund budget is derived from tax revenue assessed on hotel rooms within the City of
Mansfield. Seven hotels are located within City limits with approximately 592 beds. The budget for FY
2020-2021 is $593,563. Occupancy tax collections were down in FY 2019-2020 due to Covid-19.
Revenues are expected to partially recover in FY 2020-2021.

Several factors have contributed to revenue in the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund, including greater emphasis
on tourism, new improvements to recreational venues such as Big League Dreams Sports Park,
th
Fieldhouse USA, Dallas Stars Center and Hawaiian Falls, increased special events such as Rockin’ 4 of
July, downtown events including music, film and arts festivals, and regional sports tournaments including
the Rotary Basketball Tournament and Future Men’s Professional Tennis Tournament.
