Sources & notes
- Only source used: Town of Bronson, Florida, Financial Statements and Independent Auditor’s Report, September 30, 2024 (June 8, 2026). 2024 Bronson audit (Auditor General e-file). Jurisdiction verified in the document itself: Town of Bronson, Florida (the seat is officially a Town).
- Sum checks: actual revenues exact ($525,179 + $199,568 + $812,571 + $210,413 + $2,945 + $9,744 = $1,760,420); actual expenditures exact ($703,734 + $339,371 + $1,556 + $77,216 + $8,027 + $51,172 + $650,848 = $1,831,924); $1,760,420 − $1,831,924 = ($71,504); ($71,504) + $67,000 = ($4,504); $328,992 − $4,504 = $324,488.
- What is not claimed: this is an audited actuals page, not an adopted-budget page; no FY2023-24 millage rate is shown because the retrieved schedule does not state one. Audit findings 2024-1 through 2024-6 are disclosed in the basis notice above.
- Jurisdiction palette: No verified Florida jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
