Clatsop County uses Performance Based Budgeting to show not only what services taxpayers are getting for their money but also how effectively and efficiently those services are provided. Performance based budgeting uses goals and projects to determine how the money is spent and then uses workload and effectiveness measures to evaluate the results.

The adopted 2010-2011 Fiscal Year Budget, as well as the adopted 2009-2010 Fiscal Year budget, are provided in PDF format. The budget is divided into sections for easier downloading.
