Budget, Department of

The Budget Department prepares the County Executive’s annual budget. We also monitor and analyze County revenues and expenditures throughout the year.

We strive to be the stewards of responsible and accurate allocation of taxpayer dollars. We seek to create a data-informed County budget that allocates taxpayer dollars for maximum benefit and utilization. We also work with the County’s executive departments to evaluate performance, streamline operations and deliver improved outcomes for County residents.

Grants Division

In 2023, the Grants Division was created within the Department of Budget (Resolution No. 214) with the purpose of increasing organizational capacity to pursue and successfully manage grant awards.
