REVENUE<br />
For the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2012, revenue from governmental activities totaled $762.6 million (including transfers), an<br />
increase of $64.2 million, or 9.2% over fiscal year 2011. This increase in revenue is due primarily to the collection of one time<br />
revenue sources due to the City, such as, the advance repayment from RMA ($62.1 million) and funds held in trust by RRHA<br />
($2.1 million) relating to the proceeds from the sale of the Miller and Rhoads building.<br />
General property taxes, the City’s largest revenue source, were $258.8 million, an increase of 1.3% from the previous year.<br />
Included in these taxes are real and personal property levies, which were payable in January, June, and May of the fiscal year.<br />
This revenue increase is primarily due to the City’s comprehensive tax compliance program thus resulting in a decrease in<br />
allowance for doubtful accounts. The personal property tax rate was $3.70 per $100 of assessed value (100% of fair market<br />
value). The real estate tax rate was $1.20 per $100 of assessed value (100% of fair market value) during the fiscal year. The<br />
real estate and personal property tax rates were last changed in 2008 and 1992, respectively.<br />
The “Other Taxes” revenue category, which includes taxes on general sales, utility purchases, hotel rooms, restaurant meals,<br />
and amusements totaled $168.1 million. This total represents a $4.8 million decrease over the previous year, or 2.8%.<br />
Business-type activities produced total revenue of $288.8 million, a decrease of $26.4 million from fiscal year 2011. This<br />
decrease is largely due in part to lower collections from charges for services for gas. The revenue produced during the year for<br />
gas was $128.3 million, a decrease of $34.3 million from fiscal year 2011. The largest business-type source of revenue is<br />
charges for services (program revenue).<br />
