Voters in Grapevine, Texas will decide in the upcoming May election whether to renew the city's Crime Control & Prevention District (CCPD) half-cent sales tax. The CCPD tax currently funds the salaries and expenses of the Grapevine Police Department, including uniformed officers, dispatch, jail operations, and criminal investigations.

Why it matters

The CCPD tax is an important source of funding for Grapevine's public safety services, with a significant portion coming from non-resident tourists. Renewing the tax will allow the city to maintain current police staffing and operations, while its expiration could lead to budget cuts and reduced services.

The details

The CCPD half-cent sales tax is part of the existing sales tax received by the City of Grapevine. It has been in place for several years and provides a dedicated funding source for the police department's personnel and operations.

  • Grapevine voters will decide on the CCPD tax renewal in the May 2026 election.
