$1.3B in sales tax revenue goes to local governments in September

Texas Comptroller Don Huffines sent $1.3 billion in sales tax allocations for September, 7.6% more than in August 2025.

These allocations are based on sales made in July by businesses that report tax monthly.

“The increased sales tax revenue being returned to local governments is an indicator that many local entities may have an opportunity to use these additional funds to help reduce property taxes,” Huffines said. “Lower property taxes are one of the most effective ways to make housing more affordable and ease the financial burden Texans face with gas, groceries, and other everyday costs.”
