The property tax rate remained at $.5325 per $100 of as- sessed value. Property taxes account for 58.25 percent of all revenues. Property taxes (excluding registered motor vehicles, which are collected by the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles) are assessed and collected by Wake County and remitted to the Town throughout the year. Other taxes, which include the Town’s share of Public safety (41.33%) statewide sales taxes and ABC revenue, account for 20.26 percent of all revenues. Collections during this fiscal year increased 2.2 percent over the prior period. This category of revenues was boosted through continued improvement in the local economy and changes to the services to which sales tax are applicable. The Town also received 7 percent of its revenues from permits and fees, a decrease of 17.6 percent over FY 16-17. The primary reason for the de- crease was the discontinuation of water and sewer capacity fees that had been charged previously.
