Pursuant to Section 216.04(d) of the Codified Ordinances of Jackson County, the County Administrator prepares, with input from all County departments, a recommended budget.  The budget is then reviewed, amended if necessary, and approved by the Budget Committee (which includes the Board of Commissioners and three lay members).  After approval by the Budget Committee, the Board then adopts the annual budget.

Changes to the adopted budget may be done in one of two ways:  1)  through a budget adjustment that moves appropriation authority from one category or line item to another; or 2) by a supplemental budget which increases the appropriation authority.

All Budget Committee and Board of Commissioners meetings are open to the public.  County financial administration is governed by State law under the Oregon Revised Statutes, Chapter 294.

Meet or contact the Budget Committee and view recorded budget hearings.
