Recent figures from the Texas comptroller’s office show that sales tax allocations for Lufkin and Angelina counties increased.
The allocations reflect sales made in April, as Texas was soldiering through a stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Greg Abbott in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City of Lufkin has seen its sales tax allocations decrease for much of this year, with June just being the second time the opposite has happened.
The Lufkin Daily News reported that Lufkin County will rake in $1.18 million this period while Angelina County will pull in just over $506,000. On a statewide level, cities will collect $443.6 million and counties $46.2 million, both decreases from last year’s showings.
