Analysis: Sales tax intake on decline

Years of steady growth in sales tax revenue has halted and even reversed direction in many Denton area cities this year, a Denton Record-Chronicle analysis has found. Overall, sales tax allocations have been flat since the first half of 2009 for many cities, in large part caused by a drop in retail sales. For some cities, the sales tax revenue stream has receded to 2007 levels or earlier. Among 15 Denton area cities, payments reported by the state comptroller’s office in April, May and June dipped nearly 11 percent compared to the same period last year. Denton’s share dipped 4 percent — more than $200,000 — compared to last year.
