Municipal budgets must comply with state law. Requirements vary by state
but commonly include balanced budgets, reporting formats, and transparency.

**Balanced Budget:** Expenditures generally cannot exceed revenues plus
authorized reserves. Deficit spending is prohibited unless explicitly
allowed under narrow circumstances. Document how the budget balances.

**Approved Formats:** Many states prescribe chart of accounts, fund structure,
and report layouts. Use the state's templates and coding to avoid rejections
or audit findings.

**Submission Deadlines:** Some states require submission of adopted budgets
or annual financial reports by fixed dates. Missing deadlines can affect
state aid or trigger penalties.

**Transparency:** Public access to budget documents, meeting minutes, and
financial reports is often mandated. Maintain a clear audit trail and
publish materials in required locations.
