Clarendon’s sales tax revenue hit a new all-time monthly high last week when Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock delivered November allocations to local governments.
The city received $65,375.62 for the month, which is up 22.07 percent compared to last November’s allocation of $52,736.12. That’s the highest revenue for November and the highest of any month in the city’s history.
The previous record was set in November 2023, when the city received $61,362.03.
The November boost pushes the city’s calendar year-to-date total $519,952.11, an increase of 9.91 percent compared to this point in 2024.
Hedley and Howardwick were both down for the month.
Hedley’s allocation of $1,619.15 was a drop of 62.85 percent and pulls that city’s year-to-date total down 18.25 percent to $14,080.83.
Howardwick was down 17.71 percent at $1,619.15 for the month but is still up 10.14 on the year-to-date at $21,338.31.
Donley County Assistance District One, still in its first year of collections in the corporate limits of Howardwick to support county law enforcement, brought in $1,213.25 for the month and is now sitting at $14,092.42 for the year-to-date.
Claude and Memphis also posted big gains this month with growth of 45.29 percent and 49.83 percent respectively for monthly revenue of $41,766.15 and $67,482.92.
Statewide, Hancock delivered $1.3 billion in local sales tax allocations for November, 6.4 percent more than in November 2024.
These allocations 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.
