Where Keizer's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 58%
- Sales taxes 31%
- From the state 11%
- Other taxes & licenses <1%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Keizer collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.
