November Sales Tax revenue received earlier this week totaled $499,450.22, an increase of $36,564.52 or 7.9 percent over November 2012, according to a report from LeeAnn Foutz of the Archuleta County finance department.

The total amount of sales tax for the month is split 50-50 between the county and the Town of Pagosa Springs. If the town’s share had shown a 5-percent drop or more, Town Manager David Mitchem would have been required to take emergency action to reduce the town’s spending.
