A message from the City Council Chairman

The Tampa City Council holds several workshops and public hearings each year to provide our citizens with the opportunity to have input into the City's budget. The City Council encourages the general public, Neighborhood Associations and Community Development Block Clubs to participate in this process and have a voice in where your dollars are spent.

We hope that you have found this report informative and welcome you to take part in your local government.

Charlie Miranda

The City of Tampa budget development is a year round process. During the first quarter of the new fiscal year, the Budget Office prepares initial revenue and expense estimates. Next, the Mayor and the Departments develop their service and delivery objectives during the second quarter, based on anticipated funding levels.

Departments then prepare working budgets that are within the target amounts. All budgets must be ready by June for the Mayor's review.

Finally, the Recommended Budget is presented to City Council for review, two public hearings and adoption by the end of September. On October 1st the new fiscal year starts and the process begins again.
