Budgets serve as a guide to achieve the County’s strategy through funding priorities.  Each budget document is representative of a single point in time, which explains in part why the County publishes several budget documents every year. This ensures that the County can respond to changes throughout the year and reprioritize funding accordingly. Budget is a yearlong process with various budget cycles and follows a fiscal year rather than calendar year, which means the budget year is from July 1st through June 30th.
