About Us
Tax Audit employees administer and interpret the Transaction Privilege (Sales) tax code, evaluate local economic strength through the interpretation of tax collections, and research the impact of the economy on property tax. The primary focus of the section is performing compliance audits to promote accurate self-assessments. In addition, the section performs lease compliance, franchise, and commercial aviation permit audits. In FY 2004/2005, 290 audits were performed which resulted in a tax and fee change of nearly $2.5 million. This section monitors and promotes legislation that protects or enhances the tax revenue base of the City. The section also works on improving existing internal and external partnerships and establishing new relationships with other taxing jurisdictions and businesses.
