The officials responsible for calculating estimated tax levy are

• A. CFO and Tax Collector
• B. Mayor and Clerk
• C. Budget Director and Auditor
• D. Treasurer and Solicitor

Answer: (A)

Estimating the tax levy is a budgeting and revenue-forecasting task. The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for financial planning, forecasting how much revenue the government needs, and determining the levy amount to cover the adopted budget. The Tax Collector uses that levy to bill and collect property taxes, so they are the official who applies the levy in practice and monitors collection. Together, their roles cover both the calculation of how large the levy must be and the administration of collecting it. Other offices may participate in budgeting or oversight, but the combination most directly tied to calculating and implementing the levy is the CFO and the Tax Collector.
