Empowering Our Community Through Sound Financial Management
Public funds are managed with transparency, accountability, and efficiency to ensure every dollar is used wisely. Core responsibilities include budgeting, payroll, purchasing, financial reporting, and managing accounts payable and receivable. The team also oversees the annual budget process, evaluates fiscal policies, manages fixed assets, administers grants, and supports long-term financial planning. Through careful stewardship and forward-looking strategy, this work promotes economic stability and sustainability while strengthening the community and improving quality of life for all residents.
Sound Fiscal Management That Inspires Confidence
Pitt County has earned strong credit ratings from the nation’s three major bond rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, and Moody’s Investors Service. These ratings show confidence in the County’s financial management and economic strength. Pitt County is proud to hold an AA rating from all three agencies. Fewer than 15% of counties nationwide receive this rating when they sell public bonds.
Benefits of High Ratings
High bond ratings help the County borrow money for voter-approved projects at lower interest rates, saving taxpayer dollars. These ratings also make Pitt County’s existing bonds more valuable to investors.
| Current Ratings | Moody's Investors Service Ratings | Service Standard & Poor's Ratings | Fitch Ratings |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Obligation (GO) | Aa1 | AA+ | AA+ |
| Certificates of Participation (COPS) / Limited Obligation Bonds (LOBS) | Aa2 | AA | AA |
