CONTACT INFO (404) 385-1340
Recently, there have been several major annexations as well
as efforts to create new cities within DeKalb County. These
actions have had, or will have, significant impacts on the
financial situation of several county funds. In the past,
estimates of potential lost revenues have been calculated,
but the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners (BOC) has
had no systematic way of estimating the true fiscal impact
of these actions – both on county revenues and county
expenses. In response to a request for proposal published by the BOC,
researchers with the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation
Institute (EI2) and the Center for Geographic Information
Services have developed a GIS-based fiscal model that
will help DeKalb County examine the fiscal impact of any
proposed municipal annexation or incorporation within the
County. Specifically, the model calculates the fiscal impact
on the three funds that provide services to unincorporated
DeKalb County – the Designated Fund (Fund 271); the
Unincorporated Fund (Fund 272); and the Police Fund
(Fund 274).

Once all the revenues and
expenses for each block group
were calculated, the net revenue
was calculated for each block
group. Within the Designated Fund,
based on 2013 data, there were 165
block groups that had positive net
revenues (i.e., revenues within the
block group exceeded expenditures)
and 115 block groups with negative
net revenues.
Within the Unincorporated Fund,
based on 2013 data, all 280
unincorporated block groups had
positive net revenues (i.e., revenues
within the block group exceeded
expenditures). For the fund, total
revenues exceeded expenditures by
approximately $65 million. Of that
amount, 25 percent was transferred
to the Designated Fund and 75
percent was transferred to the
Police Fund.
Within the Police Fund, based
on 2013 data, there were 88
blockgroups that had positive net
revenues (i.e., revenues within the
block group exceeded expenditures)
and 192 block groups with negative
net revenues.
