When the various adjustments to the monthly payment are removed, net June sales tax collections increased by approximately 22.2%.  

“With the release of the June figures, sales taxes through the first nine months of the fiscal year (October-June) are up 17.4% ,” said Chief Financial Officer Jared Werner. “The June payment of approximately $4.1 million dollars represents the largest sales tax payment of record for the City of New Braunfels. Growth in June was strong among a number of industries, with full-service restaurants, building material stores, manufacturing, and general services leading the way. The general services category experienced growth of nearly 70% in comparison to June 2020. This category includes most tourism and leisure-focused businesses, which was one of the sub-industries most impacted by the pandemic.”
