Imposed Fee and Fine Use by Local Governments
Fines and imposed fees should not be used as revenue raising or cost-recovery tools. Using them this way can worsen problems that governments services are meant to solve. GFOA provides tools for local government finance officers to use in evaluating their own existing policies, along with guidance and policy templates for drafting new policies.
Financial Policy Challenge
GFOA's financial policy challenge is a broad effort to encourage members to adopt and share financial policies that are essential to a strong financial foundation.
