Financial Transparency


In December 2009, the Comptroller of Public Accounts launched the Texas Comptroller Leadership Circle program to recognize local governments across Texas that are striving to meet a high standard for financial transparency online. The Comptroller is highlighting local governments that are opening their books to the public, providing clear, consistent pictures of spending and sharing information in a user-friendly format that lets taxpayers easily drill down for more information. In an effort to achieve these same goals, the City of Dayton has created this page. Please contact the Finance Department for any missing links or information that may be unclear to the viewer.

Open Financial Records

Working as a complement to the traditional budget and using an intuitive, visual presentation to provide context and structure, the system displays the full depth of the General Ledger, from government-wide totals down to the individual object level and from current month-to-date to historical data. 

 OpenGov's innovative filter system also makes navigating complex budget data a breeze. In addition, anyone can export the raw data into an Excel document or as an embedded image.
