The Brief

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Orange County collected more than $26 million from the tourist development tax in September.

What we know:

The figure represented a 1% increase over last year, making it the most revenue ever collected during that month, according to comptroller Phil Diamond.

Although a record-breaking for September, collections were lower when compared to the last few months this summer. Diamond attributed the dip to a cooling off in the fall.

"After a strong, hot summer, TDT collections cooled off in September with the start of the fall season," Diamond said in a news release.

Overall, collections for fiscal year 2024-25 were $384.6 million, making it the highest annual collections ever.
