Under this agreement, HdL provides specialized services to the County. HdL has the unique ability to provide a combination of report preparation, data analysis necessary to effectively manage the County’s sales tax base, and to recover revenues erroneously allocated to other jurisdiction and allocation pools. HdL has in place programs, equipment, and personnel to deliver this sales tax service.
