Georgia state law requires in code section link to O.C.G.A. § 36-81-5, all counties to plan and forecast government programs, revenues and expenditures on an annual basis. Forsyth County adopts an annual budget that is based on a fiscal year from January through December. The Budget function area coordinates, analyzes, and presents the County’s annual budget.

Once the budget has been approved by the Board of Commissioners, the Budget function area prepares an official budget document. The Budget function area is responsible for the projection and development, the monitoring, and the line-item adjustment and transfer of the County’s budget.

Copies of the budget document are available for review at the Administration reception desk, the Finance Department’s reception area, and on the county's website.
