Guadalupe County's sales-tax allocations through November reached $17,967,244.11, up 17.03% from the same point in 2025. The comparable 2025 total was $15,351,862.39, according to the Comptroller's November allocation data.
For residents, the change means Guadalupe County has received more sales-tax money this year than at the same point last year. These are payments to county government from its 0.5% sales tax, rather than a change to any household's tax rate.
The latest monthly payment tells a quieter story. Guadalupe County received $1,469,890.04 in November 2026, compared with $1,456,317.60 in November 2025, a rise of 0.93%. A single month's small increase does not erase the much larger gain accumulated earlier in the year.
February stands out in the Comptroller's figures: the county received $3,790,114.31 that month, compared with $1,642,640.08 in February 2025. The difference between those two payments accounts for much of the year-to-date gain, but the figures alone do not establish what caused February's jump.
The next useful check is the Comptroller's December county allocation report, alongside the county's monthly finance record. Readers can use the November allocation data to compare the county's monthly payments and year-to-date totals directly.
