The County’s budget is a two-year plan showing how funds will be used in the first year and making recommendations on spending for the second year. It covers the fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. The 2025-27 Recommended Budget will be released May 1.

How the Budget is Shaped

It is large and complex, funding hundreds of services and programs to support health, safety and quality of life. We are guided by our strategic plan and consider many important factors:

  • County areas of responsibility – things that are required by the federal and state governments and the services we provide in the unincorporated area
  • Board of Supervisors direction
  • Needs identified by the community input
  • Data – things like research and statistics to see what’s working and what can be improved and streamlined
  • Resource availability

Your Input is Critical

Partnership and collaboration with the public we serve is key to any County process, program or policy. Community engagement is at the heart of our operations. We gather input year-round from the people who live and work in our county across topics that are important to them and their families. This input helps inform County programs, services, policies and funding.
