    We're on a fiscal year of 7/1 to 6/30 and start our budget review process in March.

    We operate on a calendar year budget, and development begins in September but may not be approved until October or November -it fluctuates based on Trustee availability for approval.

    We also use the calendar year; next's year budget is developed after Q3 closes (for the most up-to-date guess on next year's expenses) and passed sometime in November.

    Calendar year. Much easier all around. Budget prepared in August/Sept/Oct., goes to Board for approval in November.
