Property taxes 87%From the state 13%

Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Fall Creek Township collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $3,000; interest on debt $6,000; payments to other governments $7,000. With these, the whole budget was $136,000.
About “Other”.37% of Fall Creek Township’s day-to-day spending ($44,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
