Budget Office
The Budget Division creates, modifies, and monitors the annual budget for the Board of County Commissioners. We support all the county departments with financial and budget-related information so they can make prudent financial decisions for their departmental goals and activities. Our office also develops financial projections for the county’s revenues. The Budget Office serves as a financial data hub for the various departments under the board and assists them with financial matters.
