General Fund Budget Highlights

To budget and account for resources traditionally associated with governments, which are not required to be accounted for in another fund.

The General Fund is the repository for revenues and expenses that provide traditional government services such as fire protection, police protection, street repair, park maintenance and recreational facilities. The largest source of revenue is the Gross Receipts Tax for this particular fund.

The City of Albuquerque now maintains 8.3% of the General Fund appropriations as a reserve to protect against changes in the economy, unanticipated fiscal needs or emergencies. If it is necessary to use some portion of that reserve in any given year, the budget for the following year reestablishes the appropriate amount.
