The County Administrator is responsible for the development and administration of the budget, which is reviewed and approved by the Board of Commissioners. How is the budget developed? The County Administrator works with departments to develop a proposed budget that is presented to the Board of Commissioners in April. A public hearing is held in late spring prior to budget adoption. The Board of Commissioners adopts a proposed budget to have a spending plan in place before the fiscal year begins on July 1. As required by State law, budget adoption must occur by June 30. The final budget is published by the Department of Fiscal and Administrative Services and is available online as a PDF file that can be downloaded. What is the general fund? The general fund is the largest operating fund of Charles County Government. The general fund is used to account for financial transactions associated with government services, which are not legally required to be accounted for in a special fund, or are not part of self-supporting operations, which are called enterprise funds. What is the capital improvement program (CIP)? The CIP is a long-term planning and budget process which is reviewed annually to assist County Officials with the task of planning, constructing, and financing public infrastructure.  These projects are planned for over a five-year increment.  Budget funds are appropriated by the County Commissioners for the most current fiscal year of the CIP.  The CIP is broken down into Governmental and Enterprise fund projects.
