FUND TYPES A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activity or objective. Sarasota County, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. By law, each fund type must be balanced and may not show a deficit. General Fund – Accounts for the County’s primary operating fund that pays for government operations. Special Revenue Funds – Account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditures for particular purposes. Debt Service Funds – Account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long term debt principal and interest. Capital Projects Funds – Account for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities other than those financed by proprietary and trust funds. Permanent Funds – Account for resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only earnings, not principal, may be used for purposes that support the County’s programs. Enterprise Funds – Account for any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services. Internal Service Funds – Account for the financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the government and to other governmental units, on a cost reimbursement basis. BUDGET BY FUND TYPE Last Three Fiscal Years 2020 2021 2022 Special Revenue Fund Debt Service Fund Capital Projects Funds Permanent Funds Enterprise Funds Internal Service Funds General Fund Source: (1) Sarasota County Annual Budget FY2022. (2) Calculation based on 2022 population numbers from the Florida Legislature, Office of Economic and Demographic Research. Tax dollars and other sources of revenue must be spent in accordance with Sarasota County’s budget. The County, in compliance with Florida Statute 129.01(2)(b), budgets taxes and other revenues at 95% of anticipated revenues. The County recognizes the remaining 5% as an acceptable variance factor. The operating budget process is a collaborative effort between the department and the budget analyst staff from the Office of Financial Management. The operating analyst provides reports, financial analysis, historical and trending information to the department to assist in budget formulation. The budget gets preliminary approval from Administration by going through a budget review process. There are several workshops throughout the year to present the budget to the Board. The Board adopts the budget during two public hearings. BUDGET 12 Impact Report 2022 Impact Report 2022 13 $200 $300 $400 $500 $600 $700 $800 $100 0 Millions
