The City Collector assumes responsibility for assisting in the collection of various taxes, licenses and fees. The most significant revenue source for general governmental functions is taxes. Historically tax revenues include a combination of four distinct resources: sales tax, property tax, utility franchise taxes, and the cigarette tax.
The Mayor, with the consent of the Board of Aldermen, appoints the City Collector. Rita Westerson has served as City Collector since October 1993.
