County Budget Act

The County Budget Act governs the annual budgeting process of county governments, setting out uniform procedures for how a county's spending plan is prepared, reviewed, and put into effect. It establishes a sequenced process that moves from initial budget requests, through a recommended budget, to a final budget adopted by the county's governing body, along with general provisions defining terms and administering the process. It also covers the tax levy through which the adopted budget is funded, linking the county's approved spending plan to the revenue raised to support it.
