Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 96%
  • Fees & charges 4%
  • Other taxes & licenses <1%

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

Pittsfield didn't report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau's estimates.
