About the Fiscal Year 2022 to 2023 Budget Process
Budget preparation is a year-long process of gathering information, analyzing data, and working with departments to understand upcoming needs. Development of the 2022 to 2023 fiscal year budget has begun with work sessions with the Board of Supervisors occurring in September 2021 and will continue through April 2022. The capital portion of the budget will be proposed on January 25, 2022 and the operating portion will be proposed on March 8, 2022. By state law, localities like Roanoke County must approve a balanced budget by June 30. On May 10, 2022, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors will adopt the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Annual Fiscal Plan and the Fiscal Year 2023 - Fiscal Year 2032 Capital Improvement Program. Those documents will be available on or after July 1, 2022.
A locality’s budget is a document that projects a county’s revenues and expenses for the upcoming year to ensure that the local government can cover costs. The process Roanoke County undertakes to develop a balanced budget for the upcoming year is dependent on many factors that include - but are not limited to - county expenditures (expenses, i.e.: fuel, building maintenance, employee salaries, etc.), local tax revenue collection, citizens’ expectations for continued service levels, funding for Roanoke County Public Schools, and funding from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Throughout Roanoke County’s budget process, the Board of Supervisors and staff will hold several public work sessions as well as public hearings to gather citizen input before the budget’s final adoption. In addition, citizens can send ideas to Roanoke County Finance & Management Services - Budget Division staff at any time by using our online Budget Comments and Suggestions Form.
