Statewide, the disbursement of $211,695,380 sales tax collections returned to the cities and towns reflected an increase of $8,592,376 from the $203,103,004 distributed to the cities and towns in February last year. The use tax disbursement to cities and town was $56,382,839 according to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

In county returns, the counties shared in a $37,221,145 sales tax disbursement and a $11,503,931 use tax disbursement.

The attached chart compares city sales taxes and taxable sales in area cities, towns and counties as well as a comparison for the same period in 2025. Taxable Sales are calculated by dividing the tax collected by the tax rate and it shows a rough estimate of retail sales activity.
