The city issued tax bills during the month of October for the 2011 real and personal property taxes on over 14,000 taxable parcels. The total amount billed: $14.2 million (plus change).
Through the month of January, a total of $12.7 million of it was collected. This represents 89.5% of the total billed.
This collection rate is 0.5 percent higher than the collection percentage for the same period last year - always a good sign.
And if you're wondering - and I know you are - here's what you would pay to the city for a house with a market value of $100,000: $697.50 a year.
Yep - less than $2.00 per day for the finest in municipal services. Now that's what I call a good deal - and is another good reason to live in Bristol.
