Murray County Commissioners and other county offices and entities will experience an increase in their portion of the county one-cent sales tax. Collections for the 2024 year were up more than $70,000 over last year’s collections, according to county officials.
The county actually receives two cents in sales taxes, but one cent is a permanent sales tax designated to Arbuckle Memorial Hospital.
Approximately 32 entities receive a portion of the one-cent county tax.
Most of the entities have carry over balances from previous years making the total sales tax available for appropriation for 2025 at $6,615,480.07.
