The City of Coyote mailed property tax bills for 2011 to its citizens during August 2010. Payments could be made early to receive a discount. The levy becomes legally enforceable on February 15, 2011. All money received must be spent during 2011 or later. The total assessment is $300,000, and 40 percent of that amount is collected in 2010 less a 10 percent discount. The city expects to receive all the rest of the money during 2011 with no discount. During 2010, the government increased cash and a revenue for the amount received. In addition, a receivable account and a deferred revenue account for $180,000 were recognized.
