Orange County ’ s Adopted FY23 Budget Available Online in New User - Friendly Digital Format
By: Orange County Communications Department
Orange County prioritizes the preparation of annual budgets that are effective as policy documents, financial plans, operations guides, and communications devices. Furthermore, the easy accessibility of the budget, to residents, is a key component of operating as an effective and transparent public body. With that in mind, the County ’ s budget has been readily available on the Orange County website for many years in a PDF - based format. In recognition of these efforts, we have consistently received the Government Finance Officers Association ’ s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, which is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting.
The Fiscal Year 2023 (July 2022 - June 2023) budget was adopted on April 26, 2022. It will continue to be available online, but will now be presented in a new and more user - friendly digital format, hosted by ClearGov, a provider of cloud - based budget and performance management software. The new digital format enhances the adopted budget ’ s accessibility online for public viewing. Advancements over the prior PDF - based budget formats include simplified navigation, improved accessibility, clearer visual representation of data, and better integration of the Capital Improvements Plan. This adopted budget, as well as those of recent years, are easily accessible on the budget page of the County ’ s website. Archived budgets going back to 2010 are also available.
