Know Your County Budget Basics
Have you ever wondered how the programs and services you enjoy are funded? The property taxes you pay, also known as ad valorem taxes along with miscellaneous fees, transfers and fund balances, and sales tax comprise what is known as the General Fund budget. The General Fund budget is approximately $1 billion dollars and represents about one-third of the County’s overall $3.7 billion budget.

The collected property tax revenues for FY2013 are allocated to fund several areas. The Broward Sheriff’s Office is allocated 51 percent of total property tax revenues. The Broward County Commission has authority over 36 percent of property tax revenues which are allocated to Parks and Libraries (10 percent), Human Services (8 percent), Transit (3 percent), and Other Programs (15 percent). The remaining thirteen percent is allocated to the Property Appraiser and Supervisor of Elections (3 percent) and required mandates (10 percent).

A tentative budget meeting/workshop calendar for the Fiscal Year 2014 budget process has been prepared. County Commission government meetings are broadcast live on participating channels and webcast live on broward.org. More…
