Department of Finance - Operating Budget

Budgetary Information

Budgets for all major funds (General Fund, Outdoor Facilities Fund, Solid Waste Fund, and Water and Wastewater Funds) are prepared each year starting in October, and are presented to the voters at Town Meeting in March, for the Town's fiscal year that begins the following July 1. Detailed information on each budget is presented in the Town report, and audited financial statements (audited by the Town's independent auditor) are also presented in the Town report following the end of each fiscal year.

Expenditures for the General Fund, net of any grant revenues, fees collected and other miscellaneous revenues, are funded by property taxes. Expenditures for all other funds, net of grants and other revenues, are funded by user fees. Summaries of budgets for each major fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, are presented below.
