North Carolina General Statute 159-33-1 requires units of local government to submit a statement of financial information to the Secretary of the Local Government Commission. Counties and municipalities in North Carolina are required to submit the Annual Financial Information Report by October 31 of each year.

The report form was designed in consultation with representatives of local governments, state agencies, Legislative Research, the N.C. League of Municipalities and the N.C. Association of County Commissioners. The US Census and the Department of State Treasurer have partnered to provide a website and data upload process for municipalities and counties in North Carolina.
