Budget

The Auditor receives and compiles budget estimates from all county departments, presents the budget to the Board of Supervisors by January 20 of each year, and makes adjustments to the estimates at the request of the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors then sets the budget hearing and directs publication of the budget in all official newspapers, and the auditor presents the budget at the public hearing. Once the Board of Supervisors adopts the budget, by March 15 of each year, the Auditor certifies the budget to the State. Throughout the fiscal year, the Auditor monitors the county budget, sends monthly expenditure and revenue reports to all department heads, and ensures the county does not overspend budgeted amounts by service area or appropriated amounts by department without a budget amendment or re-appropriation. At the end of the fiscal year, the annual financial report is completed on a cash basis and a GAAP basis, published and filed with the State by December 1.
