The Ulster County Comptroller’s Office has released its 2024 third-quarter financial report, highlighting the County’s continued apparent financial strength and projecting a significant surplus for the fifth consecutive year.
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. Instead of planned use of appropriations during the 2024 budget, the first three quarters’ performance indicates that a considerable amount will be added to the County’s existing resources.
