Financial Disclosure

Many City officials and employees and the members of City boards and commissions are required to file one or more annual financial disclosure forms by May 1st. These forms are the City Form (required by the City Ethics Code), the Mayor’s Form (required by an executive order), and the State Form (required by the State Ethics Act). The financial disclosure requirements serve as a check on whether or not those in City government might have financial interests that would affect their official duties.

Who Must File Which Financial Disclosure Forms?

Frequently Asked Questions

On-Line Financial Disclosure System: Click here to use the secure Online Financial Disclosure System to prepare all financial disclosure forms: https://fds.phila-records.com/FDS/FDLogin.aspx. New this year: For the first time, the system now permits totally electronic filing. You may “sign” your forms with an electronic signature, so--after completing the forms on line--when you click on the “Submit Statement(s)” button, you have completed the filing option, and do not need to download and deliver a paper form to the Records Department. If you prefer to file a paper form, you may still do so, by following the same procedure as last year of entering data on line and printing out the form. If you opt to file on paper, YOU MUST PRINT, SIGN, AND FILE A PAPER COPY of each form at the Records Department, Room 156, City Hall by 5:00 on May 2nd to satisfy your filing obligation.
