Budget Module

As part of our continuing efforts to automate the financial reporting of local government agencies, the Division of Local Government Services (DLGS) has released the Financial Automation Submission Tracking (FAST) Budget Module to Municipalities for input of their CY 2019 Adopted Budgets.

Completing 2019 Adopted Budgets in the FAST portal allows this information to be included in the rollover process to create the new CY 2020 budget records. Upon implementation of the budget module, the DLGS will receive, review, and certify all municipal levies in the Fast system. The DLGS will no longer accept paper copies.

Chief Financial Officers must submit the 2019 adopted budget by January 15, 2020.
