Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 70%
  • From the state 20%
  • Fees & charges 6%
  • Interest, fines & other 4%

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