Annual Budget Process

Budget and Finance Department

Quarterly Budget Amendments

In addition to the annual budget process, the County Commissioners consider quarterly budget amendments from departments and elected offices.

Each quarter, the Commissioners host a work session to hear amendment requests and a public hearing to take comment on the amendments before adopting a revised budget.

The public may listen into the work sessions by joining the meeting in-person in the Commissioners' Hearing Room or by joining via Zoom at the link on the Commissioners' website. No public comment will be taken during work sessions, only during the public hearings.
