Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Information


The budget process begins approximately six months before the Board of Commissioners votes on the County Manager's Recommended Budget. The Wake County Board of Commissioners received FY12 budget development information, as well as the first draft of possible County budget reductions, at its annual retreat on February 4, 2011.

Following the retreat, departments worked with the County Manager’s Office to develop the FY 2012 Recommended Budget, which was presented to Commissioners on May 16, 2011.

The final FY 2012 budget was adopted by the Wake County Board of Commissioners on Monday, June 20, 2011. The $952,100,000 budget holds the property tax rate at 53.4 cents and maintains or increases funding for the Board of Commissioners highest priorities: education, public safety and mental health.
