City of Kissimmee, FL
Home MenuThe Finance Department manages the City's money. The department is responsible for helping the City Manager and City Commissioners plan both the Annual Operating Budget and Five-Year Capital Budget, as well as preparing the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
The Annual Operating Budget, which begins October 1 each year and ends September 30 of the following year, is the City's financial foundation for providing daily services to residents. The Operating Budget is made up of several different funds, including a General Fund, Stormwater Utility Fund, Sanitation Fund, and Airport Fund. The General Fund relies on revenue from taxes and other sources, and accounts for much of the City's operations. However, there are some services that operate from self-sufficient funds. One example is the Sanitation Division, which operates solely on the fees paid by residents and private companies.
The Capital Budget is planned annually to forecast major expenditures that may occur over the next five years. Capital purchases are defined as items estimated to cost $750 or more. These include facilities, new equipment, vehicles, road improvements, and other projects. The budget enables the City to properly plan for the future growth of Kissimmee and the needs of its residents. The Capital Budget is funded by a variety of sources, including the Local Option Sales Tax or "1 cent," Recreation Impact Fees, the Gas Tax, and User fees.
