The total FY18 budget of all funds is $80.2 million, an increase of $7.2 million or 10.0%.

FY2018 Proposed General Fund Revenue ($50.3M)
General Fund revenues are increasing by $2.4 million or 4.9% to a total of $50.3 million. The strongest growth is seen in personal property tax revenues which have increased by 8.5%. An increase in reassessments of 2.2% and new construction of 1.2% are reflections of modest growth in real estate tax revenues, which is our primary funding source. Sales tax revenue continues to see modest growth with a 3.9% increase projected for FY18.
