Where the money comes from

  • Property taxes 88%
  • From the federal government 10%
  • From the state 2%

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

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