Have Your Say With the Budget Survey

Public hearings on the Fiscal Year 2027 city budget resume in March, following the introduction of the city manager’s budget proposal. 

In the meantime, the community budget priorities survey is available in English, Spanish and simplified Chinese at rockvillemd.gov/budget. Public participation in the budget process is a high priority for the Mayor and Council and city staff. Survey responses provide valuable input to the Mayor and Council for their budget discussions. 

A Nov. 10 staff report to the Mayor and Council includes an interim report of the survey results as of Oct. 20, as well as a summary of public testimony, and exhibits for proposed project submissions from community groups and individuals. Submissions are shared with staff as part of the budget process. Find the report with the Nov. 10 meeting listing at rockvillemd.gov/agendas. 

The city manager’s FY27 budget proposal will be presented Monday, March 9, followed by public hearings and work sessions on Mondays, March 9 and 23, and a final balancing and Capital Improvements Program work session on Monday, April 13. The budget is scheduled for adoption on Monday, May 4.
