Jacksonville owes more than it owns.

Jacksonville has a -$9,800 Taxpayer Burden.™

Jacksonville is a Sinkhole City without enough assets to cover its debt.

Decisions by elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of city bills after its available assets have been tapped.

TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates all assets and liabilities, including retirement obligations.

Jacksonville only has $4.6 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $8.2 billion.

Because Jacksonville doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a -$3.6 billion financial hole. To erase this shortfall, each Jacksonville taxpayer would have to send -$9,800 to the city.

Jacksonville's reported net position is inflated by $1.3 billion, largely because the city defers recognizing losses incurred when retirement liabilities increase.

The city's financial report was released 272 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard.
