Bladen-County-SealA new fiscal year is just beginning and after a month, a little over 8% of revenues have been collected.  Property tax notices were sent out in late July or early August and collections were low, as you might expect.  3.73% of the property taxes had been paid as of July 31, 2015, however totals are up from a year ago.  $683,605 had been collected at the end of July in 2014, compared with $809,675 in 2015.  9.22 % of sales taxes had been collected in the same time period.  $347,048 was collected at the end of July 2014, compared to $391,577 in 2015.
The numbers are relativity insignificant considering tax bills had not been received and it is just the end of the first month in the new fiscal year.
Bladen County Commissioners receive a monthly financial report throughout the year.
The County’s fund balance as of July 31, 2015 was $16.6 million, however some of that is obligated as the new year begins.
