It is the policy of the Board of County Commissioners of Oklahoma County to provide transparency in
the operation of Oklahoma County government and actions taken by the County Commissioners to fulfill
their Constitutional and Statutory duties. To this end, the Board will make available for public
inspection documents relating to the county budgeting process on the county web site.
There are many steps taken in the creation of a county budget, so please be advised that the
posted documents are those used in the creation of a budget and not the end result.
The “estimate of needs” forms filed by county officials are budget requests by those
officials for funding their offices and functional duties and may, or may not, be the
final amounts budgeted for those offices. The final accepted budget will be a document
approved by the Board of County Commissioners and accepted by the citizen oversight
Excise Board and will be listed as the adopted 2006-2007 budget.
Thank you for taking the time to access documents relating to the process that your county
government employees use to craft the county budget that sets the financial priorities of the fiscal year.
If you have any questions or wish to express an opinion, please contact your Commissioner.
