Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced March 11 that he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $766.2 million in local sales tax allocations for March, 7.7% more than in March 2019. These allocations are based on sales made in January by businesses that report tax monthly.

Cities will reportedly receive $484.5 million, a 6% increase from March 2019, a 6.6% year-to-date increase. The Comptroller has also designated $174.1 million for transit systems, an increase of 10.8% from March 2019 and 8% year-to-date; $46.6 million for counties, a 3.7% increase over March 2019 and a 5.1% increase year-to-date; and $61 million for special purpose taxing districts, which is up 15.9% from March 2019 and 12.5% year-to-date.
