  • Property taxes 58%
  • Interest, fines & other 20%
  • Other taxes & licenses 13%
  • From the state 8%
  • Fees & charges 1%

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

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