    Budget

    Mayor Indya Kincannon proposed a balanced, $499 million net budget for fiscal years 2026-2027 with no new taxes, maintaining the city's property tax rate at $2.1556 per $100 of assessed value—the lowest since 1974. The budget prioritizes public safety ($102.1 million for police and firefighter salaries and benefits), affordable housing ($8 million investment including support for the Transforming Western partnership), and parks and quality-of-life services, while withdrawing $6 million from reserves to address inflationary pressures that are outpacing revenue growth. Despite budgetary challenges from 2.2 percent sales tax growth forecasts against 3 percent anticipated inflation, Knoxville maintains strong financial reserves of $114.6 million in its General Fund Balance and holds all-time high bond ratings with the lowest debt per capita among Tennessee's six largest cities.

    Budget

    For Fiscal Year 2025, the Tucson City Manager submitted the recommended budget on April 9, 2024, and the Mayor and Council adopted a balanced budget on June 4, 2024. The city's largest revenue sources are Business Privilege tax (19.6% of total revenues) and Public Utility tax (17.4%), with Business Privilege tax recently increased from 2% to 2.6% following voter-approved propositions, and a multi-year rate plan for Public Utility tax approved in January 2023 providing annual 5.5% increases through Fiscal Year 2027. Arizona's 2022 implementation of a flat income tax rate has significantly reduced state-shared revenues to Tucson, creating budgetary pressure on the General Fund and prompting the city to propose fee adjustments for Parks and Recreation, Reid Park Zoo, Tucson City Golf, and other services beginning in Fiscal Year 2025.

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.
