Contact: Kimberly Edlund
The General Fund provides support for other funds/departments through Operating Transfers.
Department Function
The General fund may need to subsidize other Special Revenue and Enterprise funds, and this is done through an operating transfer. Operating transfers are authorized transfers of resources, usually cash, from one fund to another without a corresponding exchange of value. Payments in lieu of bank shares are made in accordance with Annotated Code of Maryland Article 25 which requires that each fiscal year, the County shall pay to each incorporated municipality an amount of money equal to the amount received for fiscal year 1967-1968 by such municipality order 30(d) of former Article 81 of the Code of Maryland relating to the apportionment of shares of taxes on banks and finance corporations which the County no longer receives.
