Revenue from three half-cent sales taxes collected by Texas County merchants jumped about 13 percent from the same monthly period a year.
The total from each was about $91,100 — an increase of about $10,550 from 2010 — said the Missouri Department of Revenue.
The funds drive the county’s budget and provide repayment for bonds issued for the Texas County justice center and administrative center renovations.
For the year, about $479,200 was collected in the first six months of the year. That’s an increase of about 2 percent from a year ago.
