Budget Highlights Revenue Highlights

CCPD receives a one-half cent special use tax (Sales Tax) which is used to fund the public safety initiative of the
fund, with a primary focus for FY2025 on community based programs. CCPD’s Sales Tax Revenue is projected to
equal $120.5 million and is an increase of $1.1 million or 1% from the FY2024 budget.
Culture and Tourism Funds
The main source of revenue for the culture and tourism funds comes from the 9 percent Hotel Occupancy Tax
(HOT tax). Seven percent is used for operations including the Fort Worth Convention Center, the Fort Worth
Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Will Rogers Memorial Center, while an additional 2 percent levied since
1997 is used to support debt service on bonds used to expand and improve the convention center. While the HOT
tax does not contribute to the top 75% of total revenues of the City, it is important to notate; as this tax helps
provide amenities and services that stimulate the local economy and welcome over 3 million visitors to our city
each year. Visit https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/public-events for more information on events in Fort
Worth.

Municipal Golf Fund
