Sales tax up in February

Body

Dublin sales tax collections were up significantly in March based on sales in February, with a 32.39% increase.

The city saw March sales at $56,486.27 compared to $48,664.77, according to the state sales tax report released by Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock.

(Sales tax reports generally reflect sales from two months prior as the local sales are reported to the state which processes them and disburses sales tax back to the local entities.)

Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock recently stated state sales tax revenue totaled $4 billion in March, 10 percent more than in March 2025. The majority of March sales tax revenue is based on sales made in February and remitted to the agency in March.

“State sales tax collections in March grew at the fastest rate since February 2023, propelled by a robust Texas economy with growth once again well above the rate of general price inflation,” Hancock said. “Growth was particularly strong in sectors influenced primarily by business spending for the second month in a row, while receipts from the retail trade sector grew at their fastest pace since the pandemic.”

Receipts from the sectors mainly affected by business spending were all up significantly compared with a year ago. The wholesale trade, construction and mining sectors were all up double digits compared with last March, andthemanufacturing sector was up approximately 7 percent.
