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.
