Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced earlier this month that he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $640 million in local sales tax allocations for June, 3.6 percent more than in June 2016. These allocations are based on sales made in April by businesses that report tax monthly. “The cities of Round Rock, Frisco, San Antonio, Midland and Odessa saw noticeable increases in sales tax allocations,” Hegar said. “The cities of Houston and Austin saw small decreases.” Locally, smaller cities of Mountain City, Uhland and Neidwerwald carried the highest percentage of sales tax revenue growth. Hays County, as well as larger cities such as San Marcos and Buda, struggled to maintain revenue numbers.
