The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Kutai Barat Regency regional government's financial performance. The study was conducted at the Kutai Barat Regency's Regional Revenue Agency Office in Indonesia's East Kalimantan Province. Quantitative descriptive analysis is the method employed. The following are the findings of this study: Between 2014 and 2023, there were variations in the rise of regional original income in Kutai Barat Regency, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. From 2014 to 2023, Kutai Barat Regency's Original Regional Income had an average effectiveness of 88.62%, falling into the category of being fairly effective. The original regional income of Kutai Barat Regency has a fluctuating elasticity ratio.  By comparing tax revenues and targeted taxes, the tax ratio of Kutai Barat Regency demonstrates a state of ineffectiveness and fluctuation between 2014 and 2023. Between 2014 and 2023, the average efficiency ratio was 95.89, falling into the efficient category. The average level of financial independence in the Kutai Barat area was 6.15%, which is quite low. It is possible to suggest that regional governments enhance regional original income by raising tax revenues and other retributions, as well as by making the best use of their current resources.
