TOURIST DEVELOPMENT TAX COLLECTIONS


ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA

ORLANDO, FLORIDA – Orange County Comptroller Phil Diamond announced today that Tourist

Development Tax collections received by Orange County for the September 2021 TDT collection

month were $16,455,000. That is a 133.8% increase over September 2020.

Month-over-month, September collections were lower than August collections by $7,100 and were

also lower than September 2019 collections by $1.3 million. In addition, September collections

were the lowest in any pre-pandemic September since 2015. However, collections remain

significantly above where they were at the beginning of the pandemic. Finally, on a fiscal year

basis, FY2020-21 collections were higher than FY2019-20 by $9.5 million, but lower than FY2018-

19 by $107.1 million. The chart below shows monthly TDT collections for the last three fiscal

years. This year’s collections were lower than any pre-pandemic year since FY2011-12.

On the TDT reserve side, the Renewal and Replacement Reserve increased for the month of

September by $7.1 million as shown in the attached “TDT Cash Reserve Summary.” Note, there

is a two month time lag between when TDT is collected and when it is remitted, received and

recorded on the County’s financial books. Therefore, September reserves reflect July TDT

collections. On a cumulative basis, since the start of the pandemic, the County has used $133.1

million of reserves to meet its TDT obligations. That has caused our undesignated “Other

Authorized Uses” reserves to decrease from $181.3 million to $48.2 million during that time.

We will release the October TDT collections report in early December.
