Fiscal & Administrative Services

Welcome to the department of Fiscal and Administrative Services. Our department is responsible for the financial and technological administration of the county. The County's Mission is to provide our citizens with the highest quality of service. Our goal is to effectively and efficiently manage the fiscal operations within the county government, based upon sound, comprehensive, short term and long-term fiscal policies. The long-standing principals and practices of the Charles County Government have been the hallmark of our solid financial planning and management.

Each year our government issues debt in the form of bonds and those bonds are evaluated and rated by three national agencies. All of these agencies examine the health and stability of the county by reviewing our budget management, external audits, financial management and economic development. The county maintains a AA+ rating from Fitch and Moody's and a AA (with a positive outlook) from Standard and Poor's.
