September 2021 Tax Apportionment Report

MEDIA RELEASE

(STILLWATER, OK) – The City of Stillwater’s September 2021 sales and use tax collection totaled $2,997,156. The collection is based off of July transactions that were reported to the Oklahoma Tax Commission in August and apportioned to the City in September.

This is an increase from September 2020 total collections by $514,007 (20.70 percent).

• The City of Stillwater’s sales tax collections in September 2021 were $2,737,541, which is up $489,135 (21.75 percent) from September 2020.

• The City of Stillwater’s use tax collections in September 2021 were $259,615, which is up $24,872 (10.60 percent) from September 2020.

Hotel/motel tax remitted to the City in September 2021 totaled $47,397, which is up from September 2020 collections by $3,914 (9.00 percent).

While the increase in tax collections is encouraging, Stillwater is not experiencing overall growth due to the impact of COVID-19. Lack of growth in local sales tax generation limits future opportunities for expanding City services and capital investment. Still, the return of public activities and events, and the rebound of businesses, are hopeful signs.
