Cash registers were ringing in Texas County, where sales tax revenue jumped about 10 percent from the same period a year ago, reports the Missouri Department of Revenue.
Revenue from three, half-cent sales taxes generated about $89,000 each. That’s up more than $8,200 each from the same period a year ago.
For the year, each has netted about $853,000, which is up about 2 percent from the same period a year ago.
Those funds go toward operation of county government, as well as debt repayment on the Texas County Justice Center.
