The Aim Budget Bulletin is published by Accelerate Indiana Municipalities as a service to its members. Aim thanks Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors for assistance in the preparation of this bulletin.
This Aim Budget Bulletin is designed to assist city and town officials with the responsibility of developing and adopting a budget.
The first section of this publication is a narrative that discusses some generalities of the Indiana municipal budget process, including how to determine expenses and revenues, and how to balance the budget. The text organizes the budget process into the logical steps that a municipality would take to reach the final adoption of a budget. Supplements follow to help with specific components of a municipal budget. *All municipalities may not need to use the information provided in every supplement to complete a budget.
