Budget & Operational Plans

A tentative Annual Operational Budget is presented at a public budget meeting in May each year. The tentative budget adoption establishes the maximum appropriation for the next fiscal year. Upon the final budget adoption at a public budget meeting in June of each year, the budget is submitted to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and the Maricopa County Assessor in accordance with state law. The Board of Supervisors’ office works with the Assessor’s office to create the tax levy and generates the mileage rates to be used for each fiscal year.
