- Revenues, FY2020, account 312.43 Second Local Option Fuel Tax (1 to 5 Cents): $0 in this government's workbook, $99,266 in EDR's statewide file.

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.
