HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County sales tax revenue was very strong in May.
According to numbers released late Monday by the county treasurer's office total sales tax collected for May was $446,323. That compares with $382,900 in 2020. That is the strongest May since at least 2015.
Sales tax numbers for May reflect shopping for March, so all previous years on record except for 2020 would have included sales tax revenue connected to the NJCAA tournament. The numbers do not this year, because the tournament was moved to April, so that will be reflected in the June numbers.
To date, the county has taken in just under $2.1 million.
