Given the new Administration's review of Federal grant revenues, this category is being <br /> monitored and coordinated with departments to ensure reimbursable expenses are timely drawn down within the <br /> fiscal year. <br /> • Property Tax collections are 78.4% of the total Property Tax budget compared to 79.06%the prior fiscal year. <br /> Real and personal property tax collections will peak by January 5 when penalties and interest begin to accrue on <br /> late payments. The property tax revenue growth reflects a tax rate increase of 2.81 cents to 86.34 cents per$100 of <br /> assessed value. This tax increase is dedicated to continuation expenses of both school districts. The other <br /> component of the property tax revenue growth is attributed to natural growth from new construction and <br /> improvements. The collection rate assumption of 99.2%for real property is expected to be achieved. <br /> • Motor vehicle taxes are payable on the vehicle renewal date and the tax is based on market value of the vehicle. <br /> The North Carolina Department of Revenue remits this tax to the County monthly. Registered Motor Vehicle Taxes <br /> become delinquent after 30 days. <br /> • The Sales Tax category is comprised of Article 39 (1% point of sale), Article 40 (.5%State-wide per capita) , Article <br /> 42 (.5% point of sale) and Hold Harmless. Article 40 to date has been flat. Article 40 is designed to ensure equitable <br /> distribution to counties regardless of their commercial activity levels. Hurricane Helene has been a factor in Article <br /> 40 showing no growth to date. Articles 39 and 42 which are point of sale has increased at 2.6%from the prior. The <br /> 2 <br />
