<br /> Property tax revenues are the single largest revenue source for the General Fund,
<br /> accounting for 56% of total revenues. In 2008 -09 actual Property tax collections were
<br /> $2,187,979 above budget estimates, a +4.5% variance. This positive variance is
<br /> primarily due to actual receipts being greater than budget estimates in three categories;
<br /> secured property tax +$668,100), delinquent property tax +$1,290,700), and
<br /> supplemental property taxes +$249,325). The revised estimate for secured property
<br /> tax called for a +3.5% increase over the prior year projected budget while actual results
<br /> were a +5.3% increase over the prior year actual collections. The revised estimate for
<br /> delinquent property tax was $928,906 while actual receipts totaled $2,219,606 which
<br /> was the highest amount ever collected from that source. The revised estimate for
<br /> supplemental property tax assessments was $1,000,000 while actual receipts totaled
<br /> $1,249,325.
