Notes

  1. Personal Property Taxes/Motor Vehicle License: The FY 2012 vehicle assessments included 5,000 more cars than the FY 2011 billing.
  2. Communication Taxes: The decrease in these taxes is primarily attributable to a one time refund issued to a large wireless provider who collected taxes on data services for various wireless devices used by their customers.  The total amount of the refund including interest was $12.9 million, and the City’s share was $0.3 million. The remaining decrease represents the timing of payments from several providers.
  3. Business License Taxes: The City’s business license tax is due March 1, 2012.  As discussed with City Council, some collections show increases over FY 2011. 
  4. Recordation Tax: The increase in this tax is primarily the result of the sale and refinancing of a few large commercial properties. 
  5. Other Local Taxes: The decrease of 32 percent in other local taxes is a result of the variable timing of quarterly payments.
  6. Revenue from Federal Government: The decrease in Federal revenue primarily represents the timing of payments for the Federal Prisoner Per Diem.
  7. Revenue from Commonwealth:  The increase represents the timing of payments for compensation reimbursement from the state for constitutional positions.
  8. Charges for Service: The increase in charges for services is the result of a budgeted increase in meter fees (to $1.75/hour) implemented with the installation of the new multi-space meters midway through FY 2011.  In addition, planning permit fees also show increased activity for FY 2012.
