GENERAL FUND REVENUES
Year-Over-Year Revenue Comparison by Revenue Source
The General Fund received approximately $20 million in revenues as of January 31, 2023. This total reflects an increase of close to $2.4 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Property Tax revenues outpace last years figures by 3% and total nearly $8.3 million at months end. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues remain stable at $3.6 million, 18% higher than January 2022. Property Tax and TOT are the two largest sources and account for 41% and 18% of General Fund revenues to date, respectively. Revenues collected from Permits and Fees of $2.1 million exceed last year's figures by 20%. This increase is still attributable to the backlog of work delayed in the prior years. In total, General Fund revenues have outperformed the previous fiscal year month-over-month throughout the fiscal year.
The City's major General Fund revenue sources are comprised of Property Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, Sales Tax, User Utility Tax, Permits & Fees, and Other Taxes & Miscellaneous Revenues. Through January, Property Tax accounts for 41% of revenues and is supported by TOT revenues totaling around 18%. Revenue growth in these categories is primarily attributed to the prior years sales activity and the economic rebound within the hotels & restaurants sectors. Other Taxes & Miscellaneous Revenues include notable categories such as Golf Tax and Rentals & Leases. Year-over-year, Golf tax revenues of $377 thousand and rental & lease revenues of $363 thousand increased over last years figures by 9% and 7%, respectively. Property Tax, TOT, and Permits collectively make-up $14 million in General Fund revenues at months end, approximately 70% of the total.
