Local sales tax is used for general government purposes. Proceeds are placed in the General Fund and pay for services that include police, fire, parks, libraries, animal services and certain infrastructure improvements. The additional sales tax is currently used in this manner and will continue to be used for these purposes.
Sales tax is applied to the purchase of most goods and services in Texas at a maximum rate of 8.25%. The current and proposed distribution of revenue from sales tax is as follows:
| CURRENT |
PROPOSED |
| State of Texas 6.25% |
State of Texas 6.25% |
City of Temple 1.50%
(.5% ADDITIONAL; 1% GENERAL) |
City of Temple 1.50%
(GENERAL) |
| Bell County 0.50% |
Bell County 0.50% |
In 1990, Temple voters adopted an additional sales tax, creating a revenue source that is paid by residents and non-residents and used for essential city services, including public safety and quality of life. The additional sales tax is used in the calculation of the property tax voter approval rate, which was lowered by state statute in 2020. Voters are being asked to consider changing the additional sales tax use to general government purposes to simplify this process
