County Budgeting Process in Mississippi

The process of county budgeting in Mississippi involves identifying needs, forecasting requirements, preparing departmental budget requests, reviewing requests, adopting and implementing the budget, amending the budget, and adopting the final amended budget. Various revenue sources, such as local ad valorem taxes, licenses, fines, fees, state homestead, reimbursements, state aid roads, and federal grants, contribute to the budget. The budget is a plan of action for the fiscal year that includes revenues, expenditures, capital projects, debt service, cash management, and taxation requirements. Amendments to the budget are allowed during the year but must be finalized by September 30th.
