Annual Budget

FY25 Budget Preparation

The Village of Bald Head Island’s budget process begins with the annual retreat. During the annual retreat, the Village Council hears from department heads, the Village’s contractors such as its shoreline engineering firm, governmental affairs consultants, the Bald Head Island Conservancy, and other subject matter experts on topics relevant to BHI. Then the Council discusses its priorities for the coming year. Video of the 2024 annual retreat can be viewed HERE. A written recap can be reviewed HERE.

After the retreat, the department heads work on their budgets based on feedback received at the retreat. Below is the budget schedule the Council agreed to at the February 6 and 7, 2024, retreat.
