Edmond’s monthly sales tax update
Edmond continues to see positive sales tax activity. Sales tax collections for the month of July totaled $6,776,529. Annual year‐to‐date sales tax collections for 2021 total $45,052,276, which is a nine percent increase over the same period in 2020.
The top three sales tax categories by North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code continue to be NAICS 45211: Department Stores, NAICS 44419/444190: Other Building Material Dealers, and NAICS 44511/445110: Supermarkets and Other Grocery. The Department Stores category remains the top category with steady annual year‐to‐date collections of approximately $7 million in both 2021 and 2020.
Other Building Material Dealers collections continue to increase in year‐to‐date collections. This increase coincides with a more than 50 percent increase in the number of new residential building permits as well as a more than 65 percent increase in the dollar value of new residential permits over last year. The Supermarkets and Other Grocery category has seen a decrease in year‐to‐date collections but is still consistently the third-largest category overall.
Just outside the top three categories is NAICS 722110/722511: Full-Service Restaurants, which has seen a significant increase in collections since last year. The broader category NAICS 722: Restaurants, Drinking Places & Caterers has seen a more than 20 percent increase in collections. This category includes Full‐Service Restaurants, Limited‐Service Restaurants, Cafeterias & Buffets, Caterers, Mobile Food Services, and Drinking Places.
New restaurants opening recently in Edmond include Neighborhood JAM, HunnyBunny Biscuit Co., and Organic Squeeze. A list of new and upcoming restaurants can be found here.
