Clarendon’s sales tax revenue slipped for the third straight month last week when Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar distributed monthly sales tax revenue to local governments.
The city’s sales tax figures dropped 6.64 percent for the month with an allocation of $28,655.24, which puts the calendar year-to-date figure at $184,984.57. That’s 1.97 percent down from the same time one year ago.
Hedley was up 8.44 percent at $316.66 for the month but down 10.40 percent for the year-to-date at $3,845.65.
Howardwick was also up for the month, 14.01 percent with $1,051.31, but down for the year so far at $5,424.05, which is off 14.39 percent.
Other nearby cities experiencing declines this month were Amarillo, -2.71 percent; Pampa, -2.71 percent also; Claude, -13.17 percent; and Quanah, -11.97 percent. Each of those cities is also in negative territory for the year-to-date.
Memphis was up 4.63 percent for the month but is behind 5.41 percent for the year. Panhandle was down 3.07 percent for the month and is just barely up, 0.14 percent, for the year. Wellington and Childress were both running ahead for the month and the year.
Hegar says the June allocations are based on sales made in April by businesses that report tax monthly.
