Budget

The office of Budget Services is responsible for developing and overseeing the county's budget, the administration of the Bob Sikes Toll Bridge and administering the management contract for the Pensacola Bay Center.

This office also manages the county's Municipal Services Benefit Unit programs, which include the county-wide fire protection MSBU, the Santa Rosa Island MSBU, and numerous others for street lighting, holding ponds and nuisance abatements.

The offices of Purchasing, Risk Management and Property Sales also operate within this department.

The county's fiscal year begins October 1 and ends September 30. The Board of County Commissioners approves the annual budget in September, following a public hearing process.
