Lubbock’s Tax Boost Could Lower Property Taxes | Lubbock News

from Lubbock Daily News Now | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Lubbock’s sales tax revenue is soaring—up nearly 17% year-over-year—with over $11 million collected this month alone, signaling strong economic momentum. The city’s year-to-date growth of more than 8% mirrors statewide trends, as local governments across Texas see a 13% surge in collections. Texas Comptroller Don Huffines sees this as a golden opportunity to slash property taxes, easing the burden on residents facing rising costs. With transit systems, counties, and special districts all reporting stronger revenues, the state’s local economies are showing resilience—and the potential for real relief for Texans.
