March tax gains hint at revival in Scottsdale
City sales tax collections rose 13 percent in March from a year earlier driven by auto sales and construction. Car dealer receipts jumped over 33 percent, likely aided by February rebates that manufacturers have since halted. Construction tax receipts rose 3 percent, marking the first uptick in over a year. Major department stores and tourism remained strong, hotel and motel revenue up about 20 percent from March last year. For nine months, collections totaled about $3.5 million, 2.8 percent ahead of the prior year, while budget shortfalls and layoffs pressured city finances.
