The county serves as the tax collection agent for the county, the county school district, and the town.

Two percent of the taxes are expected to be uncollectible. The county charges the school district and the town a collection fee of 1% of the taxes collected.

2. Tax collections for the year totaled $8,960,000—$3,200,000 for the county; $4,000,000 for the school district; and $1,760,000 for the town.

3. All amounts due to the county General Fund, the school district, and the town were paid from the Tax Agency Fund.
