What this fund is
The General Fund is the City's primary checkbook. It covers the services that aren't paid for by a dedicated fee — administration, police and fire, code enforcement, municipal court, legal, and planning & zoning. It is the only fund supported by the City property-tax levy.
Most of its money comes from property tax (the mill levy), with the rest from vehicle taxes, the public-safety sales tax, franchise fees, building permits, and fines. Because it pays for so much, the General Fund is where most budget trade-offs happen.
