Who runs it

Who’s in charge in Logan

Local officials aren’t in the public records we use for Logan yet. Neighbors can add them.

Your share of the budget

About $118 per resident a year, or $0.32 a day

The biggest line: fire, at 25% of spending.

Where the money comes from
Property taxes 100%

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Logan collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
