The City of Clarendon set a new record last week when Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar distributed June allocations of sales tax revenues to local governments.
Clarendon brought in $38,368.27 for the month setting a record for June revenues for the city. The month’s revenue came in at 23.02 percent above the same time in 2020 when the city received $31,187.08.
The city is now running 13.82 percent ahead for the calendar year-to-date total for sales tax revenues compared to 2020.
Revenues in two other local municipalities slipped for the month but are still ahead for the year.
Hedley dropped 39.44 percent for June at $535.79, but the year-to-date tally of $5,729.25 is 6.53 percent higher than this point one year ago.
Howardwick’s June revenue was down 6.15 percent at $1,469.35, but the lakeside city remains up for the year 14.46 percent at $8,464.83.
Statewide, Hegar sent $907.6 million in local sales tax allocations for June, 31.5 percent more than in June 2020.
June allocations are based on sales made in April by businesses that report tax monthly.
