About these figures
Every figure on this page is an FY2024 actual taken from Fulton County’s audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. Fulton County’s fiscal year is the calendar year, so FY2024 ended on December 31, 2024.
These are audited results, not an adopted budget: the county publishes proposed budget books but no adopted budget book, so this dashboard is built from the ACFR instead. The ACFR presents its statements in thousands of dollars; amounts here are shown in full dollars. Where a percentage appears, it is computed from the ACFR’s own figures.
This is an unofficial demonstration dashboard from Peach State Pulse. It is not published by, or affiliated with, Fulton County government.
