City sales tax revenue

How each of the latest payments compares with the payment for the same month a year before.¹

Calendar years run January through December. The City budgets and audits by fiscal year, October 1 through September 30.^1,9 Totals are added up from the exact payments, cents included, then shown to the dollar.

Taxable sales inside the Crockett city limits carry 8.25% in sales tax. The City of Crockett's part is 1.5%.⁴

• The Comptroller lists the City's local rate as 1.5% (local code 2113013) in every month of its file since 2013.⁵ Of that, 0.5% is the Type A economic and industrial development tax, in effect since Oct. 1, 1995.⁶ The 1% general line is derived: 1.5% less 0.5%.
• The state's 6.25% is the rest of the 8.25% total once the local rates are taken out.⁴
• Crockett voters approved ending the economic development half-cent in November 2024, but the Comptroller has not posted a rate change for Crockett. See The gaps.

The Comptroller sends the City one payment a month for its whole 1.5%.¹ Its files do not say how that payment divides between the City's own budget and the economic development half-cent.⁶ The City's annual audits do, reporting the half-cent under CEIDC, the City's Type A economic development corporation.

• FY2025 (Oct 2024 to Sep 2025): the Comptroller paid $2,382,707.¹ The audit counts $1,588,471 as the City's share and $794,236 as CEIDC's.⁹
• FY2024 (Oct 2023 to Sep 2024): the Comptroller paid $2,234,076.¹ The audit counts $1,489,384 as the City's share and $744,692 as CEIDC's.¹⁰
• In each of those years the two audited amounts add up to what the Comptroller paid, to the dollar: two-thirds to the City and one-third to CEIDC, the same proportions as the 1% general rate and the half-cent.
• The City's FY2027 budget worksheet shows a “City Sales Tax” line with $1,588,471.38 actual for 2025, and a line labeled “EDC Sales Tax (new account)” with $808,718 proposed for 2027.¹¹
• The chart above shows each payment whole. No public record splits it month by month.

1. A business inside the city limits charges 8.25% on taxable sales: 6.25% for the state, 1.5% for the City of Crockett and 0.5% for Houston County.⁴
2. The business sends the tax it collected to the Texas Comptroller with its sales tax return.
3. The Comptroller keeps the state's share and pays each city and county its local share on a published schedule.² In the Comptroller's words, those payments “generally represent taxes collected on sales made two months or more prior to the allocation payment date.”³
4. The City of Crockett gets one payment for its share. Houston County is paid separately for its own.⁷

• Payments before January 2013 are not in the Comptroller's open-data file.¹
• The Comptroller does not publish how each payment divides between the City's own share and the economic development half-cent. This page shows that split only for the fiscal years whose audits report it (2024 and 2025).^9,10
• The Comptroller's payment detail, which breaks out audit and late collections month by month, starts in January 2022, so the 2013 and 2019 spikes cannot be broken down from open data.³
• In the November 5, 2024 election, Crockett voters approved ending CEIDC and replacing its half-cent economic development sales tax with a half-cent sales tax for property tax relief. The City's FY2025 audit says the half-cent continues until the CEIDC and USDA obligations are paid. As of 28 Sept 2026 the Comptroller still lists Crockett's local rate at 1.5%, and its rate-change report has no Crockett entry. The rate table on this page follows the Comptroller.^5,8,9
