County reports 60.5% combined tax collection rate through August
Summary
Pitt County tax administration reported a 60.5% combined collection rate for real and personal property through Aug. 31, slightly below the 61.13% the prior year, and recommended the board approve the August tax collection report.
Pitt County tax administration presented its August tax collection report at the Sept. 15 meeting, reporting a combined real and personal property collection rate of 60.5% through Aug. 31. The presenter said the combined rate for the same period one year earlier was 61.13%. The presenter stated county tax administration will continue pursuing outstanding taxes using remedies available under North Carolina law and recommended that the board approve the August tax-collection portion of the report. The board moved, seconded and approved the tax‑collection report as presented. Why it matters: collection rates are an indicator of near‑term county revenue flows and can affect cash‑flow planning for county services and budgeting. Next steps: tax administration will continue collection efforts and report further as part of the county’s regular financial updates.
