2009 King County Budget

Citizens expect fiscal integrity and accountability in the use of their tax dollars. The Metropolitan King County Council meets that demand by setting priorities, funding programs consistent with those priorities, and measuring results.

As the legislative branch of county government, the annual budget is the single most important document through which the Council sets policy for King County and oversees delivery of the services you need and expect. For 2008, the Council adopted a $4.9 billion budget, with a general fund of $662 million.

As a King County resident you have many opportunities to contact the Council to provide your input on budget priorities and specific funding issues. See the Budget Timeline to track the process of budget development and the timeframe for public hearings in late October and early November.

Upon receipt of the 2009 Executive Proposed Budget in mid-October, all nine members of the Council will convene as the Annual Budget Committee to hold public hearings and adopt the 2009 King County Budget.
