The Budget Process

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. These calendars show opportunities for citizens and employees to become involved in Wake County’s FY 10 budget.

The budget process begins six-months before the Board of Commissioners votes on the spending plan. Key dates given to members of the Wake County management team to allow them to prepare for the FY10 (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010) budget process, beginning in November 2008 through March 2009, are available here.
