The City of Birmingham operates on a fiscal year which runs from July 1 to June 30. The City Commission annually adopts an operating budget for the City no later than the second Monday in June, following a public hearing regarding the budget each April. While the City Commission only adopts a budget for a single fiscal year, a second fiscal year is included in the budget document to assist in long-term planning and financial management.

The Finance Department coordinates City-wide preparation of the budget and creates the annual budget document from information submitted by the departments. Throughout the year, departmental expenditures are monitored and adjustments are made as needed.
