Two names for the post. Neither name is the city-tax line.
You searched because a Killeen deposit and a Temple deposit got filed as if every town in Bell County used the cap. Killeen, Temple, and Belton are 8.25% with a 1.5% city tax and no transit. Little River Academy is 7.75%. The handbook uses both Fort Hood and Fort Cavazos. There is no Killeen office on this site.
The Killeen entry says Camp Hood was created in 1942 and recommissioned as Fort Hood in 1950. The Bell County entry, describing the early twenty-first century, says the presence of Fort Cavazos remained central, and that local firms manufactured computers, plastic goods, furniture, and clothing. Beef, corn, sorghum, wheat, and cotton are the agricultural products it names. The same entry lists the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Central Texas College, Temple Junior College, and Scott and White. The Temple entry adds the Veterans Administration hospital opened in 1942. Coryell's early twenty-first century list is agriculture, plastics and other manufacturing, the presence of Fort Hood, and state prisons at Gatesville. Lampasas names agribusiness first, then construction and the manufacture of food products and plastics, and it says nearby military installations remain important. Bell County and Coryell County are central. Lampasas County is outlying. Belton, Gatesville, and Lampasas are the seats.
No transit authority is on the city rows that matter here. Killeen, Temple, and Belton, all in Bell County, are city tax 1.5%, county tax 0.5%, combined 8.25%. Copperas Cove matches that mix on three rows, one in Bell, one in Coryell, and one in Lampasas. Little River Academy is the Bell County contrast: city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, combined 7.75%, no transit. Oglesby in Coryell is the same 7.75% mix.
A posting calendar, a hospital week in Temple, and a Gatesville payroll are three reasons money moves. None of them adds a transit line the rate file does not have.
Counties: Bell (central); Coryell (central); Lampasas (outlying).
Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas are three appraisal districts. Business personal property renditions are due April 15 where the property sits. Copperas Cove can sit in more than one of those counties. The rendition follows the property, not the shared 8.25% headline.
State sales tax is 6.25%. Killeen, Temple, and Belton are city tax 1.5%, county tax 0.5%, no transit, combined 8.25%. Copperas Cove is that same mix in Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas. Little River Academy is city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, no transit, combined 7.75%. Oglesby in Coryell County is city tax 1%, county tax 0.5%, no transit, combined 7.75%.
The franchise report is due May 15. Texas has no state income tax. The cap on the combined rate is 8.25%. The permit sets how often the sales-tax return is due.
Killeen time is a report date plus a lease that started because someone was posted. The Killeen handbook page says Fort Hood, the name from the 1950 recommissioning. The Bell County page, in the early twenty-first century paragraph, says Fort Cavazos. Keep both names. Do not file either name as a customer. Temple's recognizable week is medical. Scott and White is the Bell County institution, and the Temple page dates a Veterans Administration hospital to 1942. Gatesville can be the prisons the Coryell page names. Lampasas is agribusiness and nearby posts, not a second Killeen store.
Before any appointment, gather the return, the deposits, and a scribble of which city the slip names. Household ledgers stay out of it. The opening check is whether the slip is Killeen, Temple, or Belton, each 8.25% with a 1.5% city tax, a 0.5% county tax, and no transit, or Copperas Cove, which repeats that mix in all three counties, or Little River Academy at 7.75% on a 1% city tax. Oglesby matches Academy, not Killeen.
You are handed the spots where a cap rate landed on Academy or Oglesby. That note arrives while the return can still be fixed. A screen acknowledgment of the franchise report waits until after the split. You remain in Killeen, Temple, or Cove. No desk on this site has to be local. A move-in is not revenue just because a deposit posted. Rent still unpaid is not a sale. Plastic goods from a Bell County plant and a Temple hospital deposit do not become one account because both weeks felt busy.
A shop that is not a base vendor, a clinic, or a Cove counter belongs on the industry list.

County membership is the OMB 2023 delineation supplied for this project. City rates are the July 2026 Texas Comptroller city-rate file. The Killeen entry says Fort Hood. The Bell County early twenty-first century passage says Fort Cavazos. This page uses each name where that entry uses it.
