Annual Budget Materials

Manatee County's budget process begins each year when a Recommended Budget is presented to the Board of County Commissioners in May or June, prior to final tax roll changes from the Manatee County Property Appraiser.

Once the Property Appraiser has finalized tax rolls by July 1, the Board receives a Proposed Budget which has up-to-date tax information and any changes from the earlier Recommended Budget.

Two public hearings are held in September before the Board approves the Adopted Budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1.
