    Dearborn, MI
    Budget

Revenue is projected to increase $3.6 million (2.5%), primarily from property tax gains of $1.7 million and increased charges for services of $1.1 million, while expenditures increase $3.6 million (2.4%), largely due to $5.7 million in additional wages and benefits; budget priorities allocate 70% of subsidies to Public Safety, followed by Administrative (11%), Public Works & Facilities (9%), Parks & Recreation (8%), and Economic Development (2%).
