Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 66%
  • From the state 20%
  • Fees & charges 12%
  • Other taxes & licenses 1%
  • Interest, fines & other 1%

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

Turner didn't report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
