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 Revenues adopted by the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) at the conclusion of each Legislative Session is also 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 July to August timeframe.
The 2024 Local Government Financial Information Handbook (May 2025) has been published and includes the FY 2024-25 county and municipal revenue estimates. Local government officials interested in revenue estimates for FY 2024-25 or a prior fiscal year should consult the relevant annual edition of the Local Government Financial Information Handbook.
Additionally, 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 Legislature's delay in finalizing the 2025-26 state budget resulted in the delayed release of local government revenue estimates. As previously mentioned, the annual publication of revenue estimates is dependent on the release of the adjusted population estimates by EDR and the adoption of the Measures Affecting Revenues by the REC. The adjusted 2024 population estimates were posted by EDR on June 16th (see links below). The REC met on July 10th, 15th, and 22nd to discuss and adopt fiscal impacts for the 2025 Measures Affecting Revenues report; however, the final Measures report was not formally adopted until July 31st.
Given the above, the Office of Tax Research began to release FY 2025-26 revenue estimates in early July. Additional estimates were released after the August 15, 2025 General Revenue Estimating Conference. Revisions to correct for data errors or adjustments to reflect the fiscal impact of legislation enacted during the 2025 session have been or will be provided, as necessary. Original revenue estimates and any subsequent revisions will be posted to this webpage as they are provided to EDR by the Office of Tax Research. Since these revenue estimates are prepared by the Department's Office of Tax Research, EDR staff have no control over the timing of their release. Therefore, local officials should bookmark this webpage and check back periodically after the initial file postings for any revisions.
