Freestone County cities showing revenue growth

Cities in Freestone County are seeing a significant increase in sales tax collections so far this year.

Fairfield, Teague and Wortham are all showing increases over last year in sales tax revenue rebates, but Streetman has just about doubled its year-to-date collections.

The numbers are reported by state Comptroller Gelnn Hegar. The allocations are based on sales made in December 2025. Businesses collect sales tax, the state takes its share and sends the rest back to the taxing entities. Across the state, $1.5 billion was rebated.
