Lampasas Sales Tax Receipts Down 1.53%. Down For Sixth Time In Seven Months.

After last month’s miniscule gain, sales tax for December (actually November collections) dropped again – down 1.53% [row 585 as always].

Texas as a whole was UP 2.43% – so once again, Lampasas trails the state in sales tax receipts.

For the year-to-date number, sales tax collections are up only 1.42%, which translates into only about $40,000 more than last year.

Burnet:UP 6.18% (our sister city must have a REALLY good economic development director!)

Marble Falls: DOWN 1.76%

Dallas: UP 8.4% (!!)

Austin: DOWN 2.29%
