Williams County Solidly Above $1 Billion in Taxable Sales

Link here to KQCD-TV.
For the months of July, August and September of this year, the state saw a 22 percent increase in taxable sales and purchases compared to the same time last year.

According to the report, Williams County generated nearly $1.3 billion in taxable sales and purchases, a 36 percent increase from last year.
$1.3 billion in taxable sales. Wow. I can't get my arms around $1 billion in Williston. But look at the increase: 36% increase y/y. And some thought the boom was slowing down.

Again, this is just what was bought in Williams County. Imagine all the steel, proppant, pipeline, that is being shipped in every single day. All the trucks that are being bought elsewhere. All the rail tankers that are being built elsewhere. [My assumption is incorrect. See first comment below.]

  1. The use tax covers purchases from out of state. See Burke County in the PDF you posted a few days ago.
