- Title
Revenue Budgeting: Dade County Tries a Decremental Approach.

- Abstract
This article discusses the development of the revenue budgeting approach of Dade County in Florida. Revenue budgeting is an approach to the budget decision rather than a particular budget system. Operating under a state-wide property tax limit, faced with a locally generated property tax rate referendum in two consecutive years, staggered by continuing double digit inflation, and subjected to service demands aggravated by the influx of a large multi-Lingual and multi-racial refugee population, Metropolitan Dade County developed a budget system focused on decremental levels of funding both above and below current appropriations. Dade County achieved home rule in 1956 after an amendment to the Florida Constitution. Given revenue scarcity the agencies may pick their spots for cuts, OMB certainly benefits, and the connection of the budget to services delivered to relevant publics in a formal mechanism is a clear advantage.
