Hutto collected about 17 percent more sales tax this December than in December 2014, and the city's total collected sales tax in 2015 rose 16 percent from last year, according to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts office.
The 2014-15 sales tax collections in Hutto were 22 percent above estimates which can be partly attributed to the growing number of Hutto residents and businesses, according to a city of Hutto statement.
In 2015 four franchises—Starbucks, Jack Brown Cleaners, O'Reilly Auto Parts and Hampton Inn & Suites—opened in Hutto, marking the largest number of franchises to open in Hutto in a given year, according to city officials.
Some of Hutto's largest stakeholders—including the city, the Hutto Economic Development Corp. and Hutto ISD—are seeking to form a collaborative marketing plan to help further promote the city and draw new businesses and residents to the area, Hutto Public Information Officer Christina Kane-Gibson said.
