June sales tax receipts for Putnam County fall about $455,000 from last year; slight budget shortfall noted
Summary
County auditors reported June sales tax receipts of $5,058,035 — about $454,781 below the prior year and about $386,129 below the year-to-date budgeted amount — though staff said month-to-month collections are roughly even.
Putnam County’s auditor reported June sales tax receipts of $5,058,035 to the Audit & Administration Committee on July 20, a $454,781 decline from the same month last year and about $386,129 below the county’s budgeted projection for the month.
The auditor said the month-to-month pattern is relatively steady and described the variance as a “short fall” but not a budgetary crisis. Committee members were invited to ask questions; none were raised at the meeting. The sales-tax report was presented as informational for oversight and budgeting.
Staff said the county remains closely monitoring receipts as it moves through the fiscal year and will report variances in subsequent committee meetings.
