The Department of Finance has the responsibility of creating budgets, reports, issuing purchase orders, employee payroll and many other financial functions.
This department will monitor the spending of the annual budget to assure that expenditures will not exceed the budget, which was authorized by Council.
As budgets are developed, the department is called upon by Council to provide a breakdown of costs so Council can come to an informed decision as to how City resources will be spent. Throughout the year, the Finance Department advises Council as to the condition of the budget.

Local taxes are handled by the Regional Income Tax Authority (RITA). Forms are available at the Finance Department. The income tax in Garfield Heights is 2% with a 100% credit (up to 2%).
Birth certificates are maintained in the Finance Department if you were born in the City. Death certificates are maintained for those who died in the City.
