Where the money goes, where it comes from, property taxes, and how to reach Gold's government.
Where Gold's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 71%
- From the state 20%
- Interest, fines & other 8%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Gold collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
Gold didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
