How to Navigate this Guide

This web site gives citizens access to the budget for Metro Government of Nashville and Davidson County. Several features are available to help you find information that is interesting to you.

General Budget Information

These two items are described in the following paragraphs.

The Budget Book
The budget book is presented in PDF format. When you click on a link to the budget book, it may take a few minutes to download the PDF file. Also, when the file opens, there may be a short delay while your computer finds the bookmarked location in the file. After you are finished reading a section in the Budget Book, click the Back button on your Internet browser to return to the budget web site.

Department Level Information
To find budget information about a specific department, use the drop-down lists to the left. Information about both the operating budget and the capital improvements budget is available. When you view a department page, you will see a departmental organizational structure, links below it and a box containing contact information.
