December sales drove sales tax collections higher in two Donley County municipalities, according to Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar.
Clarendon’s allocation for February rose 3.12 percent to $47,348.64 compared to $45,914.54 for the same period last year. The city is now 7.01 percent ahead for the calendar year-to-date with sales tax revenue of $80,727.73.
City Administrator David Dockery said this month is the best February on record for the city.
Howardwick was up 14.23 percent for the month at $1,836.45 and is now 17.77 percent ahead for the calendar year at $3,434.35.
The City of Hedley’s allocation, however, was down 16.63 percent to $1,233.84 this month and is down 3.03 percent for the year at $1,914.53.
Statewide, Hegar distributed $1.05 billion in local sales tax allocations for February, 0.7 percent more than in February 2020.
These allocations are based on sales made in December by businesses that report tax monthly; October, November and December sales by quarterly filers; and 2020 sales by businesses that report tax annually.
