  • 2012 The City of San José’s Budget Crisis INSIDE Introduction The City’s Budget

San Jose, CA
Budget

San José, Northern California's largest city with nearly one million residents, faces ongoing multi-year budget shortfalls with expenses outpacing revenues over the past decade. The city's general fund relies primarily on property and sales taxes, though San José receives only a small percentage of taxes collected (9% of property taxes and 12% of sales taxes), with 61% of expenditures dedicated to public safety and community services. The city is required by charter to approve a balanced budget annually by June 30 through a nine-month community-based process that includes multiple opportunities for public input.

  • phoenix - community budget guide

    Phoenix, AZ
    Budget

    The Phoenix Community Budget Guide outlines the city's fiscal structure and challenges. Phoenix's 2025-26 General Fund faced a baseline deficit of $36 million, with projected shortfalls of $83 million in 2026-27 and $6 million in 2027-28, primarily caused by state legislative actions eliminating residential rental sales tax (SB 1131) and reducing the individual income tax rate to 2.5 percent (SB 1828). On March 18, 2025, the City Council approved budget balancing strategies including an increase to the Transaction Privilege Tax and Use Tax rate from 2.3 percent to 2.8 percent, effective July 1, 2025, resulting in a projected one-time General Fund surplus of $17 million for 2025-26. The document describes the city's budget structure, revenue sources, operating costs for public safety and community services, and the budget process including a planned City Council adoption in June 2026 with community input opportunities at phoenix.gov/budget.
