COVID-19 Impacts on the City of Hudson's Finances

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and with unemployment at an all-time high, the City is carefully monitoring income tax income vs. expenditures to determine the impacts on the City's finances. Income taxes account for approximately 78% of our General Fund budgeted revenue. Our finances are holding steady, due in part to aggressive deferrals of projects and budget reductions earlier in the year. The City continues to monitor finances and has been providing monthly updates to City Council.

2020 Income Tax Revenue

This graph shows the 2020 monthly income tax revenue received by the City as compared to the monthly budgeted amount. Through the end of July, the City was $1,734,172 (or 10.4%) below budget. However, with the August collections, the City is $394,257 (or 2.2%) below estimate.  This significant improvement was primarily due to the collections from income tax filing extensions from April 15 to July 15. The City is projecting further payments of deferred income tax revenue of $406,974 over the next two months that, if realized, would allow it to reach the budgeted estimate for the year.
