Other Taxes (Franchise Fees & Mixed Beverage Taxes) are comprised of mixed beverage and
franchise taxes, with the latter accounting for approximately 96.4% of these revenues. Franchise taxes
are fees charged for the continued use of public property (rights-of-way) and are collected from utility
companies, including the City of Keller's Water & Wastewater Utility, and Drainage Utility funds. Revenues
are based on trends that reflect decreasing cable franchise fees. Electric franchise fees have been
decreasing as rates continue to lower and telecommunications franchise fees have decreased as cable
subscriptions continue to decline. In 2019 the Texas Legislature passed SB 1152, which relates to the
payment of certain fees to municipalities by companies that provide telecommunications, cable or video
services. Declines in franchise fee revenue may be attributed to this legislation. Mixed beverage tax is
related to mixed alcohol beverage sales in restaurants and pubs within the city and is showing a slight
decline.
