The City of Clarendon hit a new high for sales tax revenue last week when Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar delivered November allocations to local governments.
The city received $61,362.03 for the month, an increase of 18.85 percent over the $51,628.89 from November 2022.
The allocation not only reversed several months of declining sales tax revenues but also set a new record for the city for the highest monthly revenue. The previous monthly high was set in May 2019 with an allocation of $56,593.
November allocations to local governments are based on sales made in September by businesses that report tax monthly and on sales made in July, August and September by quarterly filers.
Clarendon is now slightly ahead for the calendar year-to-date sales tax revenues at $466,997.49, an increase of 0.22 percent compared to the same point one year ago.
Hedley’s sales tax allocation for November was down 9.57 percent to $1,697.73, but the city is still ahead for the calendar year-to-date, up 4.5 percent at $12,123.32.
Howardwick also was down for the month, falling 19.07 percent to $1,933.96. The lakeside city is almost even for the year-to-date, up 0.17 percent at $20,543.41.
Statewide, Hegar delivered $1.2 billion in sales tax allocations, 1.9 percent more than a year ago.
