County Budget & Financial Statements
County Budget Process
Cheshire County follows a three-tiered budget development and approval process:
Department submissions
County Department Heads submit their annual budget requests to the Commissioners.
Commissioners’ review and proposed budget
The Commissioners review all departmental requests and prepare a proposed County budget. This proposed budget is presented to the County Delegation and the public on the second Monday of December each year. At this meeting, the Delegation assigns the proposed budget to its Executive Committee for further review.
Delegation Executive Committee review
The Executive Committee conducts a detailed review of the proposed budget over a five-week period at the start of the year, meeting with Department Heads as needed.
The Committee votes on its recommended version of the budget and returns it to the full Delegation.
Final Adoption
The full County Delegation votes on the budget on the third Monday in March, meeting the statutory deadline for budget approval by April 1.
