Today, the Ulster County Comptroller’s Office released the 2024 Third Quarter Report. Through the third quarter of 2024, Ulster County has experienced increased revenue from state and federal aid, as well as higher collections from sales tax and occupancy tax. These factors have resulted in a substantial surplus at the end of the quarter. Ulster County remains financially stable, with a fifth consecutive surplus anticipated; however, the County should enhance forecasting practices to anticipate challenges and implement strategic solutions rather than reactively addressing issues as they arise.
