Tight Budgets Challenge U.S. Counties; Technology Can Help

Counties across the U.S. are struggling to work with increasingly shrinking budgets across all of their operations. According to the National Association of Counties (NACo), decreased funding is the top challenge most counties currently face. In some cases, these problems are the result of decreased state funding, a loss of revenue from property or sales taxes, or limits on the counties’ ability to raise revenue. In addition, the cost of mandated services continues to rise while revenues decline.
