Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Dallas Township collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
No comparison or trend for Dallas Township yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Dallas Township’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
