The non-ad valorem special assessment provides for tourism marketing services within the TMD aiming to attract overnight visitors and reach additional market segments needed to ensure the City and the District remain a competitive tourism market.
The non-ad valorem special assessment is paid by specific tourism properties located within the TMD that are receiving a benefit from this assessment and are included in the tourism marketing non-ad valorem assessment roll. The assessment is based on a fixed rate charged to the total number of hotel rooms. The assessment is collected by the Hillsborough County Tax Collector’s Office and submitted to the City, net of administrative costs (1%).

Resolution making certain changes in the budget of the City of Tampa for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025; Approving the transfer, reallocation, and/or appropriation of $30,606,091 for various departments within the General Fund, Local Option Gas Tax, Stormwater Service Assessment Fund and Water Operations Fund for capitalization of software subscriptions as an asset and liability under GASB 96 guidelines.
Background
The Financial Accounting Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that oversees the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB). These boards are responsible for setting high-quality financial reporting standards within the United States, known as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Recently, GASB implemented GASB Pronouncement 96 which addresses how governments treat agreements for subscription-based information technology services (SBITA). Prior to GASB 96 these subscriptions were treated as an annual operating expense. Now the standard requires them to be reported as a long-term asset and liability on the balance sheet.
This allows the balance sheet to reflect the City’s long-term liability associated with long-term subscriptions.
The City’s Accounting Office reviews all approved contracts to determine the correct treatment on the City’s balance sheet. If they identify a contract would fall under the purview of GASB 96, they notify the Budget Office that a required financial resolution is needed in the fiscal year the contract approved by Council.
GASB 34 required that items be placed on the balance sheet must flow the budget, thereby requiring financial resolutions. The financial resolution appropriates the full value the subscription as both a revenue and capital operating expenditure. Therefore, the attached financial resolution, with a value of $30.6 million, has no net effect on the budget as both the revenues and expenditures are the same amount.
In subsequent fiscal years, the use of the scription service is expensed as a debt expense instead of an operating expense as would have been the expense prior to GASB 96.
Items being included within the GASB 96 financial resolution include: TPD – Body Camera Software Stormwater, Transportation, and Water -Cityworks Parking – Automated Parking Management Systems
