County auditor reports 99% of property‑tax budget collected, general fund 67% expended
Summary
County auditor Mr. Craddock presented the June 2026 report: property‑tax revenues are about 99% of budget expectations, April sales‑tax receipts posted 10% above last year, and general‑fund expenditures are at about 67% of budget through June; the court accepted the report.
County auditor Mr. Craddock summarized key figures from the June 2026 auditor's report during the Aug. 11 meeting and answered commissioner questions. He reported property‑tax revenue collections at approximately 99% of budgeted expectations for the year and noted that sales‑tax collections posted for April (reported in June) were about 10% higher than the prior year’s April.
On expenditures, Craddock said the general fund is about 67% expended through June while the fiscal year is roughly 75% complete; he attributed the lower percentage to a number of larger projects that have not fully drawn against appropriations. The auditor also reported the completion of a review of Justice of the Peace Precinct 4 in June. Commissioners moved to accept the report and the motion passed.
Why it matters: The auditor’s figures are used to track county revenue and spending performance and help frame upcoming budget‑workshop discussions. Commissioners scheduled further fiscal review at the upcoming workshop later in the week.
