Fiscal Year Ending
Major General Fund taxes currently account for more than 70 percent of all General Fund revenue, while the balance includes fees and fines,
cost reimbursements, transfers from other funds, franchise revenue, interest income and other miscellaneous receipts. Since 1990, growth in
the seven General Fund taxes has averaged 3.7 percent annually, which includes periods of high economic growth during the real estate and
tech booms, as well as the subsequent declines during the busts. Growth in fiscal years 2015-16 through 2017-18 reflect the impact of delayed
sales tax replacement revenue and overlapping sales tax revenue with the unwinding of the triple flip. Fiscal year 2018-19 growth includes new
business tax receipts from cannabis-related business activity.
The pandemic triggered two year declines in transient occupancy, parking occupancy and sales tax revenue and reduced growth in other
economy sensitive revenues. High growth in 2021-22 and 2022-23 reflect the recovery of these receipts; although transient and parking
occupancy taxes are still below pre-pandemic levels. Outgoing years assume slightly higher-than-average growth as receipts continue their
recovery.
