FY24/25 Budget Information

Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget Information
The budget serves as a strategic resource allocation plan, intricately aligned with community goals, preferences, and needs. It functions as a comprehensive policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communication device all rolled into one. The annual budget process delineates the proposed plan of expenditures and revenues for a given fiscal year – commencing on July 1st and concluding the following June 30th – for the Town’s primary operating fund, known as the General Fund. This process necessitates the involvement of numerous stakeholders to craft a responsible budget that delivers essential services without burdening taxpayers with excessive costs.

The General Fund budget encompasses the Board of Selectmen, Board of Education, Stafford Public Library, and Debt Service. Additionally, the Water Pollution Control Facility and Service District Commission operate as distinct user-taxing districts. In essence, the town’s operating budget serves as its annual fiscal plan and roadmap, detailing the anticipated revenues and expenditures during the regular course of business throughout the fiscal year. This includes allocations for salaries, benefits, utilities, supplies, and debt payments.
