Where EDR's own figures differ
Every figure on this page is the sum of the fund columns in EDR's workbook for this government. These are the places EDR's printed totals or its statewide file say something else.
- Revenues, FY2020, account 312.43 Second Local Option Fuel Tax (1 to 5 Cents): $0 in this government's workbook, $286,248 in EDR's statewide file. EDR codes this amount under a different account in the government's own workbook than in the statewide file; the government's total is the same in both. The workbook's coding is shown.

Lag: A local fiscal year ends September 30; the Annual Financial Report is due to the Department of Financial Services nine months later, and EDR tabulates the reports over the following year, so a fiscal year is usually published one to two years after it ends. Retrieved 2026-10-01. Real figures are deflated by the fiscal year average of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics South Region consumer price index; per resident figures use the population EDR prints with each year.
