This report provides Fort Worth's sales tax collections, a comparison of collections in the same period last year, and an estimated impact on the current year's budget. Recent years have included legislative reform on remitting sales tax to the state comptroller, effects of a historic winter storm, and the effects of a global pandemic.

Apr-21 May-21 Jun-21 Jul-21 Aug-21 Sep-21 Oct-21 Nov-21 Dec-21 The upcoming month of March 2022, as compared to March 2021, will mark a year with no covid restrictions in place. December collections continued a trend of stable performance after several months of stagnation following the initial response to COVID-19. Current collections also reflect heightened growth as compared to the same month last year, due to the pandemic's suppression of prior year activity. The Texas Governor fully lifted COVID-19 restrictions in March 2021. It is anticipated that in March of 2022, the year over year comparison by month will reflect lower percentage growth as a result of being free from restrictions for a full year. Although the revenue trend has been positive, we continue to note the potential volatility in future receipts if the pandemic intensifies, new restrictions are implemented, or consumer behavior changes.
