You can name 7.75%. The Comptroller's combined rate for Aledo is 8.25%.
The bank did not ask for a tour of Parker County. It asked for a year that ties. Sales-tax payable is one of the lines that will not tie if you coded only the city rate and hoped the rest was a rounding difference. It is not rounding. It is half a point.
Aledo is in Parker County. The Comptroller combined rate for the city is 8.25%. City tax on that file is 1.5%. The line shows no transit authority and no special-purpose district. State sales tax is 6.25%. Add state and city and you get 7.75%. The combined rate is 8.25%, so 0.5% of the combined rate is not itemized in the city, transit, or special-district columns of the file used here. Do not invent a local body's name for that half point. Code from the Comptroller's city rate detail for the place of the sale. Parker CAD is the appraisal district for the business personal property rendition. Due April 15. The district's own instructions control which date the list uses. Franchise (margin) tax still has a report due May 15. There is a threshold below which no tax is due. This page does not repeat the dollar amount. Sales tax is filed monthly or quarterly or yearly, and the permit is what volume assigned you to. The landscaping cleanup site is the fleet page when equipment and a bank package share the week. Other trades are on the industries page.
Picture the attachment the lender actually opens. A profit and loss, a balance sheet, and a sales-tax payable that somebody rounded. The Comptroller's combined figure is 8.25%. The difference is 0.5% of taxable sales for the year. On a real year of mowing, irrigation, and haul-off, that is not a penny line. It is a liability you either collected, or did not, and the package has to say which. Separate the question of the half point from the question of the mower. The mower is an asset. Sales tax you collected is not an asset and it is not your fee. If you charged 7.75% because that is all you could name, you may have under-collected relative to the combined rate. Equipment makes the April conversation a second stack of paper. Parker CAD wants the rendition of business personal property. A depreciation schedule is a tax-life list. A rendition list is the property the district's form asks about, described the way that form asks. Trailers, mowers, and the truck that pulls them often sit on one and get summarized on the other. The bank will ask for both and will notice if the truck is on neither. Send the year-end balance sheet, the sales-tax returns for that year, and a sample of invoices that show what rate the customer was charged. The first work is a bridge from invoiced rate to the Aledo combined rate of 8.25%, with the unnamed 0.5% left visible instead of dropped into miscellaneous. You get back the bridge, the amount of tax that was collected above or below that combined rate on the sample, and a note that says the half point has no city, transit, or special-district label in this file. You also get a short list of equipment that is on the depreciation report and missing from a rendition draft, or the reverse. The bridge is the piece the lender is waiting on, so it comes back before you send the package, not after the bank has already marked the payable as a plug. Bring the file as it is. Do not rebuild a year of jobs the night before. There is no Aledo office to drive to.
Seasonal work, machines, and cash that arrives in a rush have their own longer guide.

A different trade belongs on the industry list, not squeezed into this story.
If the lender's package is the deadline, book a time and send the year as it stands.
