Budgetary Information
The Code of the Town of Vienna requires that by July 1 of each year, the Vienna Town Council
adopt by ordinance a budget establishing the tax rate for the incoming year. Estimated revenues must be equivalent to estimated expenditures. It
is mandated in the Code that the fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.
At least one public hearing must be held on the budget prior to its adoption.
Seven days prior to this hearing, the Town Clerk must publish a notice of Council's intention to hold such an event.
The budget cannot be adopted at the same meeting in which the public hearing is held.
Two notices, again at least seven days apart, must then be published in a paper of general circulation announcing
Council's intention to adopt the budget. At a public hearing following these notifications, Council may then adopt
the budget. After this action is taken, the clerk publishes the final notice of adoption.
Budget Preparation Schedule
The Town of Vienna's budget process begins in January of each year when Council
presents to the staff its budget priorities for the upcoming year. The Town Manager then prepares and submits to the
Town Council his proposed budget.
