The Town’s annual budget process is a method of planning and communicating operational and capital objectives and allocating financial resources to achieve them. The process is usually performed over several months. The North Carolina Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act (NCGS 159, Article 3) requires local governments to adopt an annual budget by June 30 of each year, based on the state-mandated fiscal year which runs from July 1 to June 30. The Town’s Annual Budget Ordinance will be balanced in accordance with the Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act (NCGS 159-8), which states “A budget ordinance is balanced when the sum of estimated net revenues and appropriated fund balances is equal to appropriations."

On May 26, 2022, the proposed annual operating and capital budget for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 was submitted to the Town of Ronda Board of Commissioners.  The proposed budget has been filed with and is available for public inspection in the office of the Town Clerk, Town Hall, 123 Chatham Street, Ronda. A budget public hearing has been scheduled on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the Activity Room of the Town Hall, located at 123 Chatham Street, Ronda, NC.  You may view the proposed budget ordinance and document here.

In accordance with NCGS § 159-12, a public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget will be held during their regularly scheduled meeting on June 20, 2023 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as it may be heard. Please note that this public hearing will also include (a) the Town’s fee schedules for Fiscal Year 2023-24, including but not limited to land development fees and the revised stormwater utility fees; and (b) proposed expenditures for economic development pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 158-7.1.
