The Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office (RFA) projects the estimated funding to each county and municipality based upon the projected statutory funding increase required by §6-27-30. Actual funding is based upon appropriations by the General Assembly.
Local Government Fund
The Local Government Fund is established by the State Aid to Subdivisions Act (S.C. Code of Laws Chapter 27, Title 6). The State provides funding for counties and municipalities through the Local Government Fund. Counties receive 83.278 percent of the fund, and municipalities receive 16.722 percent of the fund. Fifty cents per capita is withheld from the portion of the Local Government Fund allotted to counties per §44-6-146 for Medicaid Services. Funding is distributed by the State Treasurer based upon the most recent decennial U.S. Census.
