Look for annual calendar this month

 

The Citizens' Annual Report/Calendar is produced every year by Hall County as part of our commitment to an open government. Look for it in late December. Copies of this report/calendar are distributed in a Sunday edition of the county's legal organ and are available at county facilities and at www.hallcounty.org.

Monthly budget updates online 

 

Hall County closely monitors its income and expenses, just like you do. Find out how we're doing on a monthly basis with budget updates online, including breakdowns of sales tax revenue and departmental expenses. Four months into the fiscal year (which began July 1), the vast majority of agencies have spent less than one third of their total budget. See this month's update.
Our mission

The mission of Hall County Government is to promote, encourage and develop a strong, viable community and ensure that all citizens share in prosperity by providing efficient, accessible and responsible public service.
