Government Finance Data

This section reports data which put the property tax in the overall context of state and local finances. It contains data for 10 years – 2018 (estimated), 2017, 2016 (estimated), 2015 (estimated), 2014 (estimated), 2013 (estimated), 2012, 2011 (estimated), 2010 (estimated), and 2009 (estimated). The tables display data for state and local governments combined, and for state and local governments separately. For each year and each type of government, tables show data for each revenue source in nominal dollars, as a share of all revenues, per capita, and as a percent of personal income. These data come from the U.S. Census Bureau and can be accessed through the Bureau's State and Local Government Finances Datasets and Tables directory. Revenue sources are defined in Chapter 4 of the U.S. Census Bureau 2006 Classification Manual.
