Where the money goes, where it comes from, property taxes, and how to reach Home's government.
Where Home's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 93%
- From the state 5%
- Interest, fines & other 2%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Home collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
Home didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
Who works for Home
