2024-25 Budget Process

In early April 2024, the City of Phoenix hosted 11 Community Budget Hearings to gather feedback on the proposed fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Trial Budget. Community Feedback is a vital part of the budget process and all residents comments on the proposed budget were provided to the City Council routinely so it could be considered ahead of final decision making. The City Council adopted the final 2024-25 balanced budget on June 12. More information on the adopted 2024-25 budget can be found in the May 21, 2024, City Council Report.

On November 7, 2023 Phoenix voters passed the City Council approved $500 million General Obligation (GO) Bond Program. GO Bond programs help to fund critical infrastructure and rehabilitation needs of City facilities such as parks, libraries, fire and police stations, affordable housing, streets and storm drains. Approved projects will be prioritized and allocated over the five-year period of 2024-25 to 2028-29 and included in the annual Preliminary Capital Improvement Program (CIP) presented to City Council each spring. Learn more about the GO Bond Program by visiting the Projects & Reports page. Visit the 2023 GO Bond Program site for more information.
