Local Government Finances

Summary

The Local Government Financial Transparency and Accountability Act requires every county and municipality to publish tentative, adopted, and final budgets on their websites with specific timing, and to hold a workshop aimed at cutting the next year’s budget by 10% without harming core services. It also tightens how impact fees are defined, calculated, and used, and sets new rules for local transportation‑fee agreements and the use of local infrastructure surtax proceeds. The changes take effect on Jan. 1, 2027 and affect all local governments, school districts, and special districts that levy impact fees.
