    Option (2) $2,955,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Amount levied Property taxes = $3,000,000

    Percentage of uncollectible = 1.5%

    Amount collected during the year = $2,700,000

    Amount wrote off as uncollectible = $25,000

    Now,

    Amount that should be reported as property tax revenue

    = Amount levied Property taxes - Amount uncollectible

    = $3,000,000 - [ 1.5% of $3,000,000 ]

    = $3,000,000 - $45,000

    = $2,955,000

    Hence,

    Option (2) $2,955,000
