Budget season may be winding down for Hall County’s bigger governments preparing for fiscal 2013-14, but in cities such as Lula, Gillsville and Clermont, such number crunching typically flies well under the radar.

The smaller governments don’t even collect property tax, relying instead on fees and other collections, such as the local option sales tax.
