Note: Different jurisdictions collect tax revenues at different times in their fiscal year and may have different general fund balance levels at these different times, compared to the end of the fiscal year. These data should be used with caution when comparing across jurisdiction types. Comparing trends across years for each jurisdiction type may be more informative.
