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

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 5% since 2022

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

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$374,000
2023$391,000

Per resident: 2022: $2,397 · 2023: $2,247. Per resident it went from $2,397 to $2,247 (down 6%), partly because the Census population behind it changed from 156 to 174.

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.
