During 2013, Oscar collected $16,000 of the delinquent taxes and wrote off the balance of the allowance account. Oscar levied real property taxes in the amount of $1,350,000 to finance its General Fund budget for the calendar year 2013. During the year, Oscar collected $1,280,000 against this levy.
