New Braunfels received $5.20 million in its November sales-tax payment, up 35.31% from November 2025, while Schertz received $2.05 million, down 53.23%. The Comptroller’s city allocation data puts their year-to-date payments at $52.71 million and $52.63 million, respectively.
The payments add to city revenue for local services; they do not change the sales-tax rate customers pay. A single monthly payment also does not describe the whole year: Schertz’s year-to-date total is 63.84% above the comparable 2025 period despite November’s decline.
From the source record
Allocations in a report month reflect sales made roughly two months earlier.Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts ↗
Four of the six cities with November rows received more than a year earlier. Garden Ridge received $55,353.63, up 16.6%; Selma received $968,366.21, up 11.39%; and Fair Oaks Ranch received $173,003.18, up 2.62%. Bulverde received $301,877.83, down 1.09%.
These are allocations for a report month, reflecting sales made roughly two months earlier. The filtered official data contains no November row for Spring Branch, so this comparison does not assign it a payment or a year-over-year change. Canyon Lake is unincorporated and has no city allocation.
The reason for Schertz’s sharp November decline remains an open question; the payment table establishes the amount, not its cause. Readers can inspect the November figures and later report months in the Comptroller’s city sales-tax dataset.
