The Fiscal Planning Guide provides data collected from counties and consolidated governments in Georgia through the annual Report of Local Government Finances. The Guide is a practical tool for local government officials in understanding the complexities of local finances in Georgia. Officials can use the Guide to examine the finances of their government in comparison with the finances of governments of comparable population size. The comparisons will provide officials with insights into how their governments are functioning in contrast with other local governments.
The information used to prepare the report was collected through a comprehensive survey of every county and consolidated government in the state. The project surveyed only general public purpose local governments. Not included were entities such as school boards and independent authorities. The survey has been the basis of a twenty-five year-old cooperative agreement between the State of Georgia and the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The data collected by the survey is forwarded to the Census Bureau each year for inclusion in its nationwide series of reports on local governments.
Change in Reporting Method The 2011 County Fiscal Planning Guide report includes local government financial data taken from the annual Report of Local Government Finances for fiscal years ended in the year 2010 only. A government's fiscal year for the twelve months ending in January, 2010, is a 2010 report included in this Guide.

2011 County Fiscal Planning Guide
Using this Guide
Comparing Local Finances County and consolidated government officials should have little difficulty using the data contained in this report. To compare the finances of a particular government with those of a similar size, these steps should be followed:
STEP 1. Determine the population group of the government. To do this, use Appendix C, which lists all counties alphabetically, along with their 2010 estimated population and the population group to which they belong (A through F).
STEP 2. Examine the data tables for the jurisdiction's population group. Each population group has a series of 10 tables. The group's letter designation is listed in the upper right hand corner of the page.
STEP 3. Compile the local government's data for comparison with the data of its population group. This may be difficult if audits and other local records are used. Therefore two options are suggested:
Best Option: Request a printout of the tables for your jurisdiction so that a direct comparison can be made. For this printout, contact:
Department of Community Affairs Office of Research Jonathan Sharpe (404) 679-4996
jonathan.sharpe@dca.ga.gov
2nd Best Option: Compile the data from your copy of the DCA local government finance survey, as completed in FY 2010 and submitted to DCA. Appendix B of this report provides the structure of data categories to be used in compiling the survey data to the form used in the tables.
A Word About The Tables Each set of tables is preceded by a brief profile showing the number of counties in the group, their population range, and the total population of the group.
Table Contents
1 General Revenues by Source
2 General Operating Expenditures by Category
3 Leading Capital Expenditures
4 Debt Issued, Retired, Outstanding at End of Year and Interest Paid on Debt
5 Cash and Investment Assets Held at End of Year
6 Debt Outstanding at End of Year, by Purpose
7 Revenues and Expenditures from Enterprise Funds
8 Personnel Expenditures for Current Operations
9 Revenue Sources in Per Capita Rank Order
10 Expenditures in Per Capita Rank Order
Per capita and average amounts, as defined below, are the primary yardsticks used in the tables to compare the finances of jurisdictions of similar size. These numbers are merely ways to compare revenues and expenditures: they are not goals or recommended levels or amounts to achieve.
2
2010 Fiscal Planning Guide
Per Capita Amount: Total amount for any item or category divided by the total 2010 estimated population of the jurisdictions reporting that amount. Average Amount: Total amount reported by the group divided by the number of jurisdictions reporting the item.
The "Fine Print"
There may be questions on the definition or use of a particular term. Most local governments began using the new Uniform Chart of Accounts for Local Governments in their fiscal year ending in 2002. Conversion to the uniform chart provides for greater uniformity in local government financial reporting.
Appendix B outlines the structure of local finances employed by the Department of Community Affairs. It shows what items combine or form larger categories or classes of data. Second, a "Glossary" is included. Terms and usage likely to create confusion are explained.
Further definitions and clarifications are available upon request. The instructions received by local governments with the annual Report of Local Government Finances from DCA also contain specific instructions for accounting and reporting.
Feedback The Department of Community Affairs is determined to provide relevant information in a timely fashion and useful form. To improve the guide's content and utility, the Board and staff of the Department invite and encourage feedback. Ideas on additional data, how to present the information, and ways to better serve Georgia's local governments will be greatly appreciated.
The contact for your feedback should be James Stephens, Office of Research, (404) 679-0591 or james.stephens@dca.ga.gov.

* The seven governments of Athens-Clarke County, Augusta-Richmond County, Columbus-Muscogee County, Cusseta-Chattahoochee County, Echols County, Georgetown-Quitman County, and Webster Unified are surveyed as consolidated governments and are reported in that section of this report. Due to the limited number of consolidated governments, population groups are not prepared for these governments.
