The City budget is more than numbers on a page. It is a plan for how the City provides services, supports public safety, and invests in the community. The City of Tukwila uses a two-year budget, called a biennial budget. This means the City adopts one budget that covers two calendar years. We are currently in the process of creating a biennial budget for years 2027-2028.
Biennial budgeting helps the City:

• Plan for future needs
• Improve long-term financial planning
• Better coordinate large projects
• Provide stability for City operations

Throughout the process, the City reviews financial conditions, community priorities, and service needs to help guide budget decisions. The City budget is developed through a collaborative process involving residents, City staf f, the Mayor, and the City Council.
