The primary <br /> reason for the variance is a property tax timing variance. <br /> • Property Tax collections are 78.8% of the total Property tax budget compared to 82.7%the prior fiscal <br /> year; this represents a timing variance in collections. Two large mortgage escrows transferred $16 <br /> million in January instead of December which accounts for the percent variance. Real and personal taxes <br /> were due September 1. Tax collections peak at the end of December due to the January 6th assessment <br /> of interest. The FY 2022-23 Budget increased the tax rate by 1.25 cents from 81.87 cents to 83.12 cents <br /> per $100 of assessed value. One cent is dedicated to support the current expenses for the school <br /> districts which increased by $4.2 million. The remaining 0.25 cents increase is to support debt service <br /> expense. <br /> • Motor vehicles taxes which are included in the Property Tax category on the table above are 55.3% of <br /> the Motor Vehicle budget as compared to 57.1% in the prior fiscal year. This slight variance is attributed <br /> to a timing variance and the higher budgeted amount from the 1.25 cent tax rate increase. <br /> 2 <br />
