Financial Transparency
The City of Paducah provides a financial transparency portal that makes accessing public financial information more practical and efficient. Interested users can use Paducah Open Finance to navigate through an interactive site to gain a better understanding of the revenues collected and how those revenues are used in providing the best public service to our citizens.
The site is updated at the end of each business week and includes data from prior fiscal years for comparative purposes. It includes information on expenditures and revenue sources.
Financial transparency by providing access to timely, accurate records is part of our commitment to strong fiscal stewardship.
