Your share of the 2023 budget

About $2,432 per resident a year, or $6.66 a day

Day-to-day services only. The biggest line: administration & buildings, at 18%.

Where the money comes from
Property taxes 76%Fees & charges 17%From the state 5%Interest, fines & other 2%From the federal government 1%Other taxes & licenses 1%

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

Not in the receipt.Interest on debt $18,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $1.6 million.
About “Other”.36% of Hebron’s day-to-day spending ($568,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 37% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Hebron reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$1.1 million
2023$1.6 million

Per resident: 2022: $1,804 · 2023: $2,432.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
