Clerk reports August receipts up nearly $38,000 from last year; use‑tax differences among towns noted
Summary
The County Clerk and Recorder reported August income of $925,778.62 (about $37,582 higher than a year earlier) and explained town use‑tax rate differences (Granby 4%, Grand Lake 5%, Fraser 4%/5% conditions) as a driver of distribution variance.
The County Clerk and Recorder presented the August monthly income figure of $925,778.62 and noted a $37,582 increase compared with the same month a year earlier. "The August monthly income was $925,778.62," the clerk reported, and explained that year‑to‑date 2025 receipts are up over 2024.
The clerk walked commissioners through local use‑tax differences among municipalities — Granby (4%), Grand Lake (5%), and Fraser (4%, becoming 5% in certain lease or buyer/seller-in-city‑limit scenarios) — and said those differences explain why distribution to towns can vary even when populations differ. Commissioners asked staff to investigate and provide further clarification about specific use‑tax applications in the future.
