Waxhaw, like all local governments throughout North Carolina, prepares, adopts and administers in accordance with the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act (LGBFCA). This Act establishes responsibilities in the adoption of the budget, and most importantly, requires that the budget be balanced. North Carolina local governments operate under a July 1st through June 30th fiscal year. A budget must be adopted by June 30th each year, or interim provisions must occur.

 

The Town Manager serves as the budget officer and is authorized to amend the budget within departments and present the amendments for the Board of Commissioners' approval within the fiscal year. The approved budget authorizes the Town Manager to oversee the use of the approved appropriations in accordance with the Board of Commissioners' policies and relevant statutes and regulations.

 

The budget is a public document and is available for review at Town Hall, 1150 North Broome Street, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Budget documents are also available for viewing in the following section.
