City Financial Disclosure Laws
Section 2-814 of the Code of Ethics requires the annual disclosure of financial statements to enable the public to review the assets and income sources of city officials and employees for actual and potential conflicts of interest between the individual’s official duties and personal interests. Pursuant to city ordinance, the 2022 City Financial Disclosure Statement is due by April 1, 2022 and the grace period for filing without a penalty ends on April 15, 2022. Notices to file will be mailed to required filers by March 1 each year.
Who Is Required to File?
The Code of Ethics requires city elected officials, approximately 25 percent of the city's work force, city board members, and neighborhood planning unit officers to file the annual financial disclosure statement. Required filers must submit a statement every year that they serve the city and the year after they leave city service. Every year the Ethics Office posts online a list of elected officials, employees, and volunteer city officials who are required to file the financial disclosure statement. Read More
