Problem

On January 3, 2017, the city council of Ben City levied property taxes of $2 million to support general government operations. The property taxes were levied to finance the 2017 budget, which had been adopted on November 3, 2016.

It has been determined that historically 2 percent of property taxes are uncollectible. Ben City accounts for property taxes in its General Fund using GASB revenue recognition guidelines (e.g. the city has adopted the 60-day rule for property tax revenue recognition).

Subsequent to the January 3rd levy, the following additional events and transactions transpired in 2017 and 2018:

The city collected the following amounts related to property taxes

Delinquent 2016 taxes collected in January 2017 $ 22,000
