County and Municipal Revenue Estimates
Two sets of data are required by the Department of Revenue's Office of Tax Research to calculate annual county and municipal revenue estimates. First, the most recent annual population estimates, which have been adjusted for annexations and incorporations, are needed from EDR to begin the process. Second, the official Measures Affecting Revenue adopted by the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) at the conclusion of each Legislative Session is required prior to completing the estimates. The Measures embody the fiscal impacts to state and local revenues resulting from enacted legislation during the most recent legislative session. Historically, the release of adjusted population estimates has occurred during early to mid-June, the completion of the Measures has occurred no later than the end of June, and the subsequent release of revenue estimates has occurred within the late June to late July timeframe.
Local government officials interested in revenue estimates for FY 2022-23 or a prior fiscal year should consult the relevant annual edition of the Local Government Financial Information Handbook.
Local officials can also view and download files from the Department of Revenue's Office of Tax Research's Collections and Distributions webpage, which may provide an indication of how state and local tax collections and distributions are trending locally.
The Office of Tax Research has released all FY 2023-24 county and municipal revenue estimates to EDR. Please note that these revenue estimates are subject to future revision if data errors are discovered or updated data becomes available.
Local officials having questions about their jurisdiction's FY 2023-24 estimates should contact the appropriate Office of Tax Research economist listed below.
