Sales up for month, down for year to date

San Marcos is one of the most populated cities in Hays County, so it is no surprise that the sales made in December, which show up in sales tax allocations paid in February, exceeded the other cities in the county by millions of dollars. But not all news was good as the payment year to date is down from 2023, although only by less than one percent.

The city of San Marcos has received $7,426,690 year to date in allocations from sales tax.

The sales tax rate allocation given by the Office of the State Comptroller for the city of San Marcos is 1.5% of the typical 8.25% assessed at the register.
