Acting Texas Comptroller Kelly Hancock announced another month of rising sales tax revenue for local governments for December, with the city of Breckenridge continuing its steady year-over-year growth as 2025 winds down.
Breckenridge will receive $198,774.01 in its December sales tax allocation, up from $186,724.15 in December 2025–a 6.45% increase. The month’s gain keeps the city on pace for a solid year, with year-to-date payments reaching $2,386,601.36, about 4.81% ahead of last year’s total through the same period.
The December payment is based on sales made in October by businesses that report monthly. While the city’s growth rate trails the statewide average for cities–7% for the month, up from the same time last year–Breckenridge’s year-to-date increase remains consistent with the broader trend of moderate, stable gains across much of rural Texas.
Statewide, Hancock announced he will distribute $1.2 billion in local sales tax allocations for December, a 7.5% increase from a year ago. Cities will receive $770.9 million, transit systems $262.6 million, counties $75.7 million and special purpose districts $128.1 million.
Breckenridge’s December allocation marks one of its stronger monthly increases of the year, and the city has now topped last year’s monthly payment in nine of the past 12 cycles. The year-to-date total is on track to finish comfortably above 2024’s final number if current trends hold.
More detailed allocation data for all Texas cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts is available through the comptroller’s monthly sales tax allocation comparison summary reports on their website, comptroller.texas.gov.
