Summary
Locally Generated Non-Tax revenue includes fines, fees, permits, and investment earnings collected by City departments and plays an important role in diversifying Philadelphia’s General Fund. From FY16 to FY25, LGNT revenues grew steadily at a compound annual rate of 5.4 percent, though they are projected to decline slightly through FY30 due to reduced interest earnings and cable franchise fees. Despite making up a small share of total revenue, LGNT is relatively stable and somewhat insulated from policy changes at other levels of government, helping the City manage economic uncertainty.
