Hotel/Motel Tax Fund

Revenue from this fund is derived from a hotel/motel tax of 7% on hotel and motel occupied rooms
within the City of Mansfield. In FY 2012-2013, the City expanded the tourism program to develop a city-
wide marketing strategy to attract special events, conferences and sporting events that promote the use of
hotels within the city. Nearby Arlington’s Dallas Cowboys AT&T Stadium and local venues including
Mansfield Sports Park, Hawaiian Falls Water Park, the Stars Center, and Fieldhouse USA have
contributed to the demand for hotel space.

The budgeted revenue for FY 2024-2025 in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund is $1,005,000. Hotel stays in the
city quickly returned to pre-COVID occupancy rates during FY 2021-2022 and have continued to steadily
climb.

Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation

The operating budgeted revenue for FY 2024-2025 in the Mansfield Park Facilities Development
Corporation (MPFDC) budget is $10,559,966 for operations and an additional $2,800,917 in sales tax
revenue to pay for debt service. In 1992, the citizens voted a ½ cent sales tax to provide parks, cultural
facilities and equipment to enhance and expand the City of Mansfield’s park system. The primary sources
of revenue from this fund are derived from sales tax, development fees and rental fees. These revenue
sources will continue to increase as new retail and commercial developments continue throughout the
City.
