Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 52%
  • From the state 37%
  • Fees & charges 10%

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

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