Annual Budget

The Town of St. Marys invites the public to learn about and provide feedback on the municipal budget. This document is a planned itemized summary of money coming into the municipality. It directs how that money will be spent over a specific period of time. The amounts to be spent are derived through the input of staff, legislated requirements, public input, and sometimes needs beyond anyone's control, such as funds to replace aging infrastructure with limited resources.
