  • 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.

  • Adopted 2023 Budget

    Lancaster, PA
    Budget

    The City of Lancaster adopted its 2023 budget on December 20, 2022, which includes a proposed 8 percent property tax increase—the first increase in four years. Mayor Danene Sorace noted that the increase was necessary due to rising costs in medical expenses, pension contributions, and inflation that exceeded savings achieved through fee increases, efficiency improvements, and debt refinancing. The mayor emphasized a structural budget challenge: property taxes, the city's largest revenue source at approximately $30 million annually, do not cover public safety expenses (police and fire), which comprise roughly 60 percent of the total budget.
