Your Input on Budget Priorities Requested
The City of Charlotte seeks input from residents regarding your budget priorities for the upcoming fiscal year. As Chair of the Budget, Governance and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, your feedback is very important to me!
As part of this effort, the city will host three budget engagement events, listed below, throughout March, providing residents with multiple opportunities to learn about the budget process and share their feedback.
Residents can also share feedback through the FY 2026 Budget Survey, which will remain open until April 7, and engage with the Balancing Act simulator. The Balancing Act is a tool that allows residents to test their budgeting skills and balance the city’s more than $4 billion budget.
“The city’s budget is more than numbers – it’s a plan that connects people to opportunities, strengthens neighborhoods and enhances quality of life,” said Marie Harris, interim director of the City of Charlotte Strategy & Budget Department. “Every decision impacts daily life, from the roads we travel to the housing and job opportunities residents have access to. That’s why we want to hear from as many people as possible to ensure their voices help shape the future of our community.”
Following resident engagement, the city manager will present the Proposed FY 2026 Budget on May 5.
Council workshops and presentations can be streamed on the GOV Channel, YouTube and the GOV Channel Streaming App.
