Annual Budget
The annual budget is the vehicle through which the Greenville City Council
authorizes Greenville City government to fund operations during a specific
fiscal year for specific purposes, and which establishes the economic resources
that are required to support these activities. The budget is a fiscal, planning,
and policy document which reflects the allocation of limited revenues among
competing uses. These allocations are provided for only after considerable time
and analysis are devoted to weighing and balancing the demands for public
services with available resources.

Legal provisions for adoption of the annual budget are contained in Article X,
Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of South Carolina, Section 5-13-90 of
the South Carolina Code of Laws of 1970, and Section 1-5-16 of the Greenville
Municipal Code.
The main body of the budget document is organized by fund, then by
department/function. Each department/function, in turn, is broken down into one
or more divisions. At this level, detailed information is presented for
staffing, programs and activities, and expenditures by major category of
expense. In addition, a separate section on debt service is included. Finally,
the appendix includes authorized staffing positions, appropriation ordinances,
budgetary policies, glossary of key terms, and a list of current CIP projects.
Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, State Accommodations
Tax Fund, Local Accommodations Tax Fund, Community Development Fund, HOME
Program Fund, HOPWA Program Fund, Hospitality Tax Fund, Sunday Alcohol Permits
Fund, Victim Witness Fund, Undergrounding Fund, Stormwater Management Fund,
Sanitary Sewer Fund, Parking Enterprise Fund, Zoo Enterprise Fund, Carolina
First Center Fund, Solid Waste Fund, and Tax Increment Funds. An annual budget
is not adopted for the Capital Projects Fund, whose expenditures are budgeted on
a project-duration basis.
