Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Verona Township collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Day-to-day spending is up 24% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Verona Township reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $1,399 · 2024: $1,655. Per resident it went from $1,399 to $1,655 (up 18%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 13,637 to 14,338.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
