County Financing

General County revenues are the source for General Fund Contributions to departments, previously referred to as Net County Cost. These revenues finance the State's mandated costs for health and welfare programs, the justice system including detention facilities, and the operation of County departments not covered by other revenue. They are derived largely from property taxes, vehicle license fee payments allocated to the County, Sales Tax, Deed Transfer Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and Cannabis Business Tax (CBT) for the unincorporated area of the County. General County Revenues also include franchise fees, fines and forfeitures, parking fees, interest earnings, certain overhead reimbursements, and the County’s share of State Tobacco Tax and Homeowners Property Tax Relief. They are not related to the revenue generating activities of any County department.

Department Budget Overview

Budget Summary of Changes

The General County Revenues budget reflects operating transfers for Capital Projects and amounts for additional storm damage repairs and reflects revenue changes for the increased Transient Occupancy Tax and new Single Use Cup Tax approved by voters in June 2022, and the reduced Sales Tax due to reduced consumer retail sales and diversion of online sales tax from unincorporated county resident purchases to cities within our county sales tax pool, or to other counties where online fulfillment centers are located.
