FUND PURPOSE AND GOALS

Chapter 334 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC) authorizes the City to designate various sports and
community-related capital improvements as “venue projects”. In July 2014, the City Council adopted a resolution
(No. 4327-07-2014) to authorize a new Multipurpose Arena designated as the venue project. In November 2014,
a special election was held and the majority voted in favor of authorizing these specific taxes to assist in the
financing of the venue project.
The special venue taxes are:

• Stall Taxes – each stall or pen that a person can use or occupy in connection with a Livestock Event, at a
rate of $1.00 per stall or pen per day, with the aggregate total not to exceed $20.00 per stall or pen
• Admission (Ticket) Taxes – the rate of 10% of the price paid for an Admission ticket(s) to or in connection
with an event at the Venue project

• Parking Taxes – each motor vehicle parked at a Venue Parking Facility at the rate of 50% of the charge
imposed, but not to exceed $5.00
This fund was established to separate the venue taxes that become effective with the opening of the Dickies
Arena in November 2019.
