Swain County’s tax collector reported that year-to-date collections exceeded the budgeted target and the Board of Commissioners approved the tax collection report during the meeting.
The tax collector (unnamed in the transcript) said the county is at the end of its fiscal year and praised office staff for collections. The report listed ad valorem fees year to date as $8,911,289.19 and total waste fees collected year to date as $1,211,970.71. The tax collector stated "Total ad valorem fees year to date are $8,911,289.19. Total waste fee collected year to date are $1,211,970.71." The transcript records a spoken figure for total revenues collected year to date, though the wording was garbled in the record.

The speaker noted the county's DMV office was recently audited and received a score of 99 on a state review.
A motion to approve the tax collection report was made and seconded; the board approved the motion without further discussion. The transcript does not show a roll-call vote tally for this item.
