<br /> General Fund revenues are 14.1% of budgeted revenues compared with the prior fiscal year at 15.1%. The slight
<br /> decline in FY 2022-23 compared to the prior year are timing variances and not due to economic performance.
<br /> As indicated in Table 1 above, the underlying drivers of the revenue base remains sound despite inflation and
<br /> increased interest rates. The County's 16%fund balance policy provides the working capital to short-term
<br /> coverage of expenditures until property taxes and sales tax are collected later in the fiscal year.
<br /> General Fund Revenues
<br /> • Property Tax collections are 16.5% of the total Property tax budget compared to 17.3% the prior fiscal
<br /> year. Real and personal taxes were due September 1 but peak at the end of December tax collections
<br /> due to the pending January assessment of penalties and interest.
