Your share of the 2022 budget

About $1,191 per resident a year, or $3.26 a day

Schools are part of the town’s budget, so they lead the receipt: 53% of day-to-day spending.

Where the money comes from
Property taxes 50%From the state 49%Fees & charges 1%Interest, fines & other <1%Other taxes & licenses <1%

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

Schools included

Marshfield runs its own schools, so school spending is part of this budget.
