The Commissioners and County Manager are committed to keeping citizens informed of the budgetary situation. Citizens are invited to attend Board of Commissioners meetings, hear the County Manager’s Economic Updates and speak during the public comment period.
The budget process begins six months before the Board of Commissioners votes on the spending plan. The key dates given to members of the Wake County management team to allow them to prepare for the budget process, are listed below.
