The tax collection rate rose 0.6 points to 97.1%, marking the first time the rate has topped 97% in 21 years. City Hall sees the increase as the result of the city\u2019s growing population, an improved economy and successful measures to combat tax delinquents. Resident tax collections were up 1.8% thanks to the 9,000 new residents added during the fiscal year, and new construction led to a 1.3% uptick in fixed asset and city planning tax collections. In 2010, the City established the Task Force to Boost City Tax Revenues, and this group\u2019s efforts have helped reduce the amount of back taxes owed to \u00a5 7.26 billion, or half of the amount owed in the peak year of 2002.
