Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting
Presented to
City of Orlando
Florida
For its Annual Financial Report
for the Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 2020
Executive Director/CEO
INTRODUCTION
OUR CITY
The City of Orlando is a Florida municipal corporation that was founded in 1875, and has an estimated population of
314,506 living within an area of approximately 111 square miles. The city is in the approximate center of the State of Florida
and the four-county (Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake) Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA),
which has an estimated population of 2.7 million. The city operates under a Charter adopted February 4, 1885, as amended.
The city has a seven-member City Council comprised of the Mayor (elected at large) and six District Commissioners.
The city provides the full range of governmental services, including police and fire protection; street construction and
maintenance; solid waste management; sewer services; parks, recreation and cultural services; planning and development
services; a variety of transportation and public infrastructure programs; and other traditional support activities. Included
in the city’s basic financial statements is the legally separate Downtown Development Board (DDB), which is reported
separately (i.e., discretely presented). Although legally separate, because of the closeness of their relationship to the city,
the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Downtown South Neighborhood Improvement District are reported as
though they are part of the city (i.e., blended presentation).
WHAT IS AN ANNUAL REPORT TO CITIZENS?
This Annual Report to Citizens is Orlando’s version of a Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR). The Government Finance
Officers Association (GFOA) recommends governments produce a PAFR to provide a summarized overview of the city’s
financial position in a simplified format for the benefit of citizens and other interested parties. The information presented
is extracted from the City’s award-winning Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which is a complete set of audited
financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
(GAAP). The Annual Report to Citizens is unaudited and not presented in GAAP format. This is not intended to replace the
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. For those interested in more detail, the City of Orlando’s Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report and other financial documents are available at orlando.gov/financialdocuments. The PAFR is available to be
viewed and downloaded at orlando.gov/pafr.
ACHIEVEMENTS
The City of Orlando continues to be recognized for its financial
reporting efforts. The GFOA has given an Award for Outstanding
Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting to the City of
Orlando for its Annual Report to Citizens for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2020. The Award for Outstanding Achievement
in Popular Annual Financial Reporting is a prestigious national
award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for
preparation of state and local government popular reports.
In order to receive an Award for Outstanding Achievement in
Popular Annual Financial Reporting, a government unit must
publish a Popular Annual Financial Report, whose contents
conform to program standards of creativity, presentation,
understandability, and reader appeal.
An Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual
Financial Reporting is valid for a period of one year only. The
City of Orlando has received a Popular Award for the last three
consecutive years (fiscal years ended September 30, 2018, 2019
and 2020). We believe our current report continues to conform
to the Popular Annual Financial Reporting requirements, and
we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for
another award.
The City of Orlando was also awarded the Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for its Annual
Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2020. This is the 43rd consecutive year it has
received the distinguished award.
1
On behalf of the Orlando City Council and staff, it is my pleasure
to present to you the City of Orlando’s Annual Report to Citizens
(Report) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
Accountability and responsible stewardship are key components
of the financial reporting process. This Report will provide you
with a snapshot of the city’s financial activities and achievements
from the past year and is an illustration of our continued
commitment to financial transparency.
We know that a strong partnership with you, our residents, is the
best way to work through challenges and realize opportunity.
With that in mind, as you review this report, please share any
recommendations, concerns or questions you may have with our
Office of Business and Financial Services at orlando.gov/obfs.
Sincerely,
Buddy Dyer

PROPERTY TAX REVENUE
Ad valorem property taxes are the city’s largest source of revenue. The table below shows the total amount of tax
collected in the last 5 years. Although the city’s millage rate (dollars of tax per $1,000 of taxable value) has remained
the same, assessed property values have increased, resulting in more property tax revenue being collected.
WHERE DO PROPERTY TAXES GO?
The example below shows the total amount of property tax a resident would pay on a home with an assessed
value of $340,000, and where those tax dollars go.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
WHAT IS IT AND WHY DO WE HAVE ONE?
The city provides needed and desired government services to the public. In order to provide these services, the
city must invest in the community by acquiring and constructing capital assets, such as buildings, infrastructure,
roads, and parks. The capital improvement program is a road map, approved by City Council, which details
and establishes the city’s capital investment priorities and policies over the next five fiscal years. The capital
improvement program is of major significance to the city. The benefits derived from the projects intersect with
and impact the lives of the city’s residents, businesses, and visitors through the provision of health, safety,
transportation, recreation, cultural, and other services.
The following chart illustrates the FY2020/2021 Capital Budget by type of service.
It includes 109 projects totaling $156 million.
Capital Assets
Long-term investments in
land, buildings, equipment,
infrastructure or improvements.

2021 GENERAL FUND EXPENSES BY DEPARTMENT
The city is required to account for its finances using fund accounting. Fund accounting separates revenues and
expenses into different funds or “buckets”, based on the source of the revenue and its intended use. The largest
“bucket” and chief operating fund of the city is the General Fund. Most of the city’s revenues and expenses are
accounted for here. General Fund revenues include property tax, licenses, permitting fees, utility taxes, state taxes,
contributions such as revenue sharing, and service charges. General Fund expenses include police, fire, parks and
recreation, business and financial services, transportation, economic development, and public works services. The
table below provides a summary and comparison of General Fund revenues, expenses, transfers, and net change
in fund balance. The charts present expenditures by department and revenues by source for the General Fund for
the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2021. Total revenues increased $16,569,367 compared to the same period
last year. Property Tax was the largest source of revenue for the General Fund representing 43% of the total. Public
Safety (Police and Fire services) was the largest expense for the General Fund, representing approximately 60%
of total expenses.
Total General Fund revenues increased 3% in fiscal year 2021 compared to 2020. Property Tax collections increased
by $20.8 million due to an increase in assessed property values, and Sales Tax revenue increased by $5.5 million
as the economy began to recover from the negative impacts of the Pandemic. These increases were offset by a
decrease in the contribution to the City from Orlando Utilities Commission consistent with agreed amounts, and
a decrease in Investment-related earnings as the City’s rate of return decreased from 4% in 2020 to .10% in 2021.
There was an increase of 3.7% in total General Fund Expenses, mostly due to cost of living salary increases which
affected all departments.

CONDENSED STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING DEBT
The City of Orlando primarily issues bonds to pay for large and long-lived capital assets such as parks, roads, water
treatment plants, and buildings. Sometimes existing bonds are refunded with new bonds to achieve savings on
interest costs.
There are multiple benefits to paying for large and long-lived capital assets with debt. One benefit is that future
users of the assets will bear some of the cost through taxes or other charges that help pay the debt over time.
The city consistently achieves some of the highest bond ratings possible from the major ratings agencies Moody’s,
Standard and Poor’s and Fitch. High bond ratings indicate that the city is financially strong, stable and able to repay
its debt, which generally results in lower interest costs.
