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.
