  1. How The Budget Is Determined

The budget process matches estimated revenue with projected expenditures for that year. It also determines the General Fund Property Tax portion of the total City tax levy. The General Fund Property Tax is the primary revenue source of the General Fund. In any year, the total City tax levy also includes amounts in addition to that needed to operate the General Fund.
