See how much local cities and towns are getting in state aid.

Related Slideshow: Total State Aid to Cities and Towns

The below slides show how much cities and towns spend and how much they receive in state aid. Two types of state aid are shown. General municipal aid here includes PILOT payments, distressed community aid, motor vehicle tax reimbursements, state library aid, and municipal incentive aid. Pass through municipal aid refers to some forms of revenue sharing that still occur, such as for the hotel tax and the meals and beverage tax.

Since so much of state aid and local spending is for education, those figures are broken out separately. Data is for fiscal year 2014, the most recent year for which statewide data on local spending is available, in the annual audits. Note that local spending does not include business-type activities like water and sewer which are funded through user fees. State aid figures are from official state records.

NOTE: Available state records do not break down education aid by community for regional school districts. In those instances, education aid was divided according to each community’s proportional share of the regional district’s budget using 2014 figures or the most recently available before then. There was one exception to this method: Bristol-Warren, in which the actual revenue in state aid was disclosed in Bristol’s 2014 audit.
