A Word From Our Director
The Comptroller of the Treasury of the State of Tennessee requires that annual audits are performed and must conform to the highest standards established by the United States Government Accountability Office for our City Finance Department.
An annual budget must be approved by Ordinance of the City Council and approved by the State Comptroller’s Office. The budget gives the Management the authority to make expenditures for the continued operation of the City. These are available for inspection in the office.
For the convenience of our customers, the drive-thru window at One Bank is a bill payment option for water bills. We also have an ACH Bank Draft option for bill payments.
Our goal is to continue to provide the lowest tax rate and the lowest water/sewer rates possible to maintain the best service possible to the residents of the City of Kingston.
