The Lubbock County tax assessor's office reported March collections for hotel and short‑term rental taxes and provided county bank totals during the April 13 Commissioner's Court meeting.
Tax office staff (referred to in the meeting as Miss Sanchez) reported March hotel collections of $227,083.47 and a separate card/short‑term rental figure of $80,298.26 for a combined March total of $307,081.73.
