Guadalupe County's adopted fiscal 2027 budget estimates $18.3 million in sales-tax revenue, up $2.1 million from its fiscal 2026 adopted estimate. The change is about 13% of the prior $16.2 million estimate, according to a Guadalupe.News calculation from the county budget.
That revenue helps pay for county services used by Guadalupe County residents. The fiscal year began Oct. 1, but $18.3 million is a budget expectation, not money already collected. Property taxes account for about 48.1% of the county's budgeted revenue, making sales tax another consequential source of funding.

The county's sales-tax rate is 0.5%. The Texas comptroller reports payments to the county separately from the county's annual budget estimate. Its October allocation table records a payment for that report month; one monthly payment cannot establish whether the full fiscal-year estimate will be met.
The next useful check is the comptroller's subsequent county allocation reports against the adopted estimate. Readers can inspect the county's sales-tax budget figures in the adopted budget and track reported payments in the comptroller's county allocation table.
