Plano's sales tax receipts have bounced back from a late-summer slump for a second straight month.
The state comptroller sent the city $13.03 million in local sales tax for November, up 16.17% from the $11.21 million it received in November 2025, according to the comptroller's city allocation data. October's check was up 15.64%.
Those two gains follow three months in a row of declines. July's payment was down 5.79% from a year earlier, August's was down 7.88% and September's was down 5.38%.
The year so far
Through 11 months, Plano has received $126.02 million, about 3.43% more than the $121.84 million it had at the same point in 2025. Before the October rebound, the year-to-date gain had shrunk to 0.83%.
The November check is the second-largest Plano has received this year, behind February's $14.32 million, and the largest November payment in the state's data, which goes back to 2013. A year ago the city's November check was $11.21 million, and in November 2024 it was $10.91 million.
Plano would need about $8.35 million more in December to match its 2025 total of $134.37 million. Last December's payment was $12.53 million.
