  • S u m m a r y B u d g e t 1 5 Summary Budget OVERVIEW

    Boston, MA
    Budget

    The FY17 Recommended Operating Budget totals $2.97 billion, representing a 4.0% increase ($114.8 million) over FY16, driven primarily by local revenue sources including property taxes and local receipts that comprise 93% of revenue growth. Expenditure growth is concentrated in City Departments, Boston Public Schools (35% of spending), and the Public Health Commission, increasing by only 1.5% over FY16 due to expiring collective bargaining agreements, while the budget maintains the city's fiscal management while reinvesting savings into targeted initiatives. Revenue continues to be dominated by the net property tax levy (68% of total revenue) and state aid (15%), with state revenue growth remaining modest at 1.9% following the previous recession.
