Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 92%
  • From other local governments 5%
  • Other taxes & licenses 1%
  • Interest, fines & other 1%
  • From the state 1%

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

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