The City Manager presented the Fiscal Year 2025 Operating and Capital Budget to the Mayor and Council on April 9, 2024, emphasizing long-term financial sustainability, strategic investment, and employee retention as key priorities. The budget reflects adjustments to the previously planned 5-year General Fund Investment Plan due to forecasted revenue decreases from the State's new flat income tax policy, which will reduce the city's shared income tax collections for FY25 and FY26 more than initially expected. The FY25 budget continues funding for public safety equipment and facilities, collector streets per Proposition 411 commitments, and adds a $6 million local match requirement for a Housing Choice grant award.

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.
