Summary

Intergovernmental revenue consists of amounts received from other governments, whether for use in performing specific activities, for general financial assistance, or as a share of tax proceeds. Intergovernmental revenue is classified by the type of government from which the money is received, and by its purpose or function. Reported here are amounts received from the federal government. For states, this includes federal grants and aid, payments-in-lieu-of-taxes on federal property, reimbursements for state activities, and revenue received but later transmitted through the state to local governments. For local governments, amounts include only direct aid from the federal government. Federal grants "passed-through" the states are reported as intergovernmental revenue from state governments at the local government level. The Census Bureau conducts a census of governments at five- year intervals, and an annual survey of a sample of state and local governments for the intervening years. The dataset covers government financial activity in four broad categories: revenue, expenditure, debt, and assets. Revenue data include taxes (ie, property, sales, tobacco, motor vehicle, licensing and permit), charges, interest, and other earnings. Expenditure data include total by function (ie, education, highways, airports, water and sewerage, health, hospitals, corrections, fire and police protection), and by accounting category (ie, current operations and capital outlays). Debt data include issuance, retirement, and amounts outstanding. Financial assets data include securities and other holdings, by type. The data collection for the state and local finance survey utilizes three modes: mail canvass, internet collection, and central collection from state sources. Collection methods vary by state and type of government. Reviews of government accounting records provide data for most state government agencies and the 48 largest and most complex county and municipal governments. Data for local governments in about 27 states are consolidated and submitted by state agencies (central collections), usually as electronic transmissions or mutually developed questionnaires. Each of these central collection arrangements is unique, conforming to the Census Bureau and the states' requirements. Data for the balance of local governments were obtained via mail questionnaires sent directly to county, municipal, township, and special district governments. In some cases the data from central collections and mail canvass procedures were incomplete or questionable. If Census Bureau analysts were unable to obtain corrected data from original sources, they attempted to obtain data from Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports or from secondary sources. The survey combines data from several government finance surveys, including State Government Finances, State and Local Public Employee-Retirement Systems, and Public Elementary-Secondary Education Finances.
