  • City of Dearborn Public Hearing 2025–2026 Budget List of Documents Page(s) A.

    Dearborn, MI
    Budget

    The City of Dearborn held a public hearing on its proposed 2025–2026 budget as of May 1, 2025, presenting a balanced General Fund budget expected to contribute $230,689 to the fund balance reserve. The budget faces financial challenges including revenue growth falling short of expenditure inflation, state taxation limitations, and rising retirement and debt service obligations, with personnel and non-discretionary spending comprising 79% of general fund uses. 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%).
