Florida’s Annual Budget Process
The State of Florida’s fiscal year begins July 1st of each year and runs until June 30th of the following year, but the budget planning and approval process takes place over a year beforehand. For example, the July 2023 - June 2024 Florida Budget Planning began for Florida’s county agencies in January of 2022.

Florida Budget Fun Facts: • The General Appropriations Act is the only bill that the legislature is constitutionally required to pass each session. • Each chamber takes turns chairing the Joint Conference Committee, the House takes the lead during even-numbered years, while the Senate handles all odd-numbered years (like this year). • Unlike the federal government, the State of Florida is required to have a balanced budget, meaning the state’s expenditures cannot exceed its revenue.
