TOWN OF VAIL
REVENUE UPDATE
January 5, 2021
Sales Tax
Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, November collections are estimated to be
1,381,380 up 9.6% from last year and up 82.7% compared to budget. Year to
date collections of $21,159,765 are down (15.4)% from prior year and up 6.0%
from amended budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was up
1.2% for November. The annual budget totals $22.5 million.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT collections through December 28 total $9,839,995 up 36.2% from this time
last year. The 2020 amended annual RETT budget totals $8,650,000. The
previous record high for RETT collections was in 2018 with $7,649,014.
Construction Use Tax
Use Tax collections through December 28 total $2,068,169 compared to
2,468,068 from this time last year. The 2020 amended budget totals $1,930,000.
Parking Revenue
Season to date:
Pass sales from November through December 25 total $929,339 down $(595,606)
or (39.1)% from prior winter season. The majority of the decrease in pass sales
is due to fewer purchases of blue passes by Vail Health in 2020. Prepaid
revenue on value passes was also lower.
Daily sales from the parking structures from November through December 25 total
approximately $969,831, up $214,568, or 28.4% from this time last year.
Summary
Across all funds, year-to-date total revenue of $60.0 million is down 3.7% from
amended budget and down (11.6)% from prior year attributed to the economic
impacts of COVID-19 on sales tax collections, parking sales and construction
activity. The town’s “Crisis” level recession plan has projected a 21% decrease
across all revenue streams for the full year 2020.
