The City of Maricopa collected about $200,000 more in April sales tax than it did a year ago, according to state numbers.
Also, thanks to a major rise in contracting and increased transactions in most other areas, the city took in $300,000 more in April than it did in March. The transaction privilege tax (commonly called sales tax) numbers were released by the Arizona Department of Revenue.
Overall, Maricopa is $2 million ahead of last fiscal year at this time. The city has collected more than $1 million each month of this fiscal year. Increased collections are seen as an indication of business growth.
