Budget

One of the main tasks of the Financial Services Office is the management of the budget. This includes budget planning, budget management and the annual financial statements. In addition, investment management is also located in this area.

  • Budget planning

    Once a year, the administration prepares the budget for the following year in order to plan all income and expenses, as well as incoming payments and outgoing payments. Budget planning and implementation is based on partial result and partial financing plans, which are mapped using defined products. The budget statutes for 2025 were published in the official gazette on April 2, 2025 and have been legally binding since then.

  • Annual financial statements

    The annual financial statements of a municipality consist of the income statement, the financial statement, the sub-accounts, the balance sheet, the notes and the management report. The annual financial statements as at 31.12.2023 were adopted by the Hilden City Council on 18.12.2024.

    The draft municipal budget plan for 2025 was published on 25.09.2024. In order to involve citizens in the budget plan, an anonymous survey was conducted until 10.11.2024. The aim was to give residents the opportunity to express their views on how the city's funds should be used and what income should be compared to expenditure.
