Dawson County is in good financial shape, according to the county’s 2017 audit results. Chris Hollifield, managing partner of Rushton and Company, a Gainesville CPA firm, presented the audit results to the board of commissioners June 14. Hollifield said that the audit went very smooth and issued a clean financial opinion of the county’s financial reporting. During his presentation to the board, Hollifield mentioned several budget highlights, and stated that of the county’s total $35.7 million in revenue in 2017, 41.79 percent came from sales tax, while property taxes made up 31.4 percent of revenue. Grants, charges for services and other taxes made up the rest of the revenue.
