Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced this week that October retail sales in Snyder and Scurry County increased more than 10 percent compared to last year.
The City of Snyder will receive $299,316 in sales tax revenue from the state.
The figure represents a 10.85 percent increase over the $270,017 allocation returned last December.
The allocation was the city’s fifth highest of the year.
Year-to-date, the city has received slightly more than $3.5 million in sales tax allocations, representing a 10.04 increase over last year’s nearly $3.2 million.
Scurry County will receive $241,811 from the state as its allocation, a 10.85 percent increase over last December’s $218,138.
Year-to-date, the comptroller’s office has returned just less than $2.5 million to the county, a 12.65 percent increase over last year’s $2.2 million allocation.
The comptroller’s office will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $820.5 million in local sales tax allocations for December, 7.8 percent more than in December 2018.
These allocations are based on sales made in October by businesses that report tax monthly.
Regionally, retail sales tax allocations from the state were generally higher in December, as well as for all of 2019. Of the 11 cities spotlighted this month, only one showed a decrease compared to last December and four showed decreases from 2018 to 2019.
