Forsyth County Commissioners to hold Budget Meetings

Forsyth County Commissioners will hold a series of meetings on the 2025/2026 budget beginning in March.

Budget workshops will be held leading up to the presentation of the manager’s proposed budget in May and the commissioners adopting a budget in June. The budget sets the county’s spending and tax rate for the next fiscal year, which will begin July 1.

• Commissioners’ budget workshops on March 10 and April 7 starting at 9 a.m.
• Commissioners Meeting on May 8 at 2 p.m. when the county manager will present a proposed budget
• Detailed Budget Presentation on May 15 beginning at 9 a.m.
• Budget Public Hearing on May 19 at 6 p.m.
• Budget Workshop on May 22 starting at 9 a.m.
• Budget Workshops on May 29 and June 2 starting at 9 a.m. (if needed)
• Special Meeting to possibly adopt the budget on June 5 at 2 p.m.

If the budget isn’t adopted by the commissioners on June 5, the commissioners will consider it at a later meeting in June, but prior to June 30, as required by state statutes.

All budget meetings and workshops are held at the Forsyth County Government Center, 201 N. Chestnut St. Free parking is available in the Government Center’s deck.

Meetings and the Public Hearing are held in the Commissioners Meeting Room and will be streamed on Facebook, YouTube and the county’s website, forsyth.cc.

Budget Workshops and the Detailed Budget Presentation will be held in the Government Center’s Multi-Purpose Room.
