The November Sales Tax Receipts report will be released in mid-January.

A total of three Bay Area municipalities — League City, Webster and Dickinson — saw their monthly tax receipts hit the seven-figure mark.

League City was the big dog in October, collecting $2.45 million in sales taxes. This figure was a solid 7.2% more than the $2.28 million brought in in October 2020.

Dickinson’s sales tax revenue was only a hair’s breadth behind Webster’s at $1.57 million, and that figure was 44.4% higher than the $1.09 million generated the corresponding month. last year.

The year-over-year difference was $482,617.

Kemah, the hospitality king on the coast, raked in $356,482 in sales tax revenue in October. This figure eclipsed the October 2020 total of $311,449 by 14.45%.

Seabrook reversed a short-term trend by going back to black when it comes to monthly sales tax numbers. In September, the city generated $273,004, or 10.58% less than the previous September’s total of $305,328.

The report detailing October earnings, however, had a rosier picture. This time around, Seabrook raised $263,087 in sales tax funds, 15.11% more than last year.
