Murphy has come a long way from our early days. It wasn’t all that long ago, 1999, that Murphy welcomed it’s first grocery store. Today, Murphy is home to hundreds of businesses.
ABOUT MURPHY UNITES
The MurphyUnites campaign was developed in 2020 through a partnership between the City of Murphy and the Murphy Chamber of Commerce. Our goal is to support local business and encourage local spending.
When you purchase taxable goods and services in Murphy, you pay 8.25 percent in sales tax. 6.25 percent goes straight to the State of Texas, and the other 2 percent stays here in Murphy. That may not seem like much, but the City of Murphy makes that 2 percent go a long way. Here’s how:
- One percent goes into the General Fund to pay for basic government services like police and fire protection.
- One-half percent of goes to the Murphy Community Development Corporation (MCDC) to fund community events as well as park and recreation facilities.
- One-quarter-percent goes toward street and sidewalk maintenance, thanks to a measure approved by voters in May 2019.
- The last one-quarter percent is for economic development – primarily to promote new and expanded business enterprises.
