An estimate

South Fulton didn’t report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $41.6 million; interest on debt $5.3 million; payments to other governments $1.5 million. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $348.6 million.
About “Other”.51% of South Fulton’s day-to-day spending ($140.1 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
