Will Rogers Venue Taxes

As part of the funding for the city's share of the new Dickies Arena, the Fort Worth City Council adopted three venue taxes in June of 2017 to be assessed for all events taking place at Will Rogers Memorial Center and Dickies Arena. The taxes were previously approved by voters in a Nov. 4, 2014 election. These venue taxes include an Admissions Tax, Parking Tax and a Livestock Facility Use Tax, and will be assessed once Dickies Arena receives its final certificate of occupancy. The adopted rules and reporting forms are available to download below.
