Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced earlier this week that he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $679.9 million in local sales tax allocations for July, 9 percent more than in July 2016. These allocations are based on sales made in May by businesses that report tax monthly. Locally, smaller cities Mountain City, Uhland and Niederwald led the county in sales tax receipts percentage growth. Hays County has now received almost $10 million dollars in sales tax receipts this year.
