How It Works: The Budget Process in Prince William County, Virginia
Each year, the County publishes two fiscal plan (budget) documents: the Proposed Fiscal Plan and the Adopted Fiscal Plan. The Proposed Fiscal Plan is the annual budget proposed by the County Executive for County government operations for the upcoming fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 30. The proposed budget is based on estimates of projected expenditures for County programs, as well as the means of paying for those expenditures (estimated revenues). Following extensive review and deliberation, the Board of County Supervisors formally approves the Adopted (or final) Fiscal Plan.
As required by the Code of Virginia, Sections §15.2-2503 and §15.2-516, the County Executive must submit to the Board of County Supervisors a proposed fiscal plan on or before April 1 of each year for the fiscal year beginning July 1. After an extensive budget review and deliberation process and a public hearing to receive citizen input, the Board of County Supervisors makes its decisions on the Adopted Fiscal Plan. The fiscal plan must be adopted on or before May 1 of each year per the code of Virginia Section 22.1-93.
