Budget

NEW! Fiscal Year 2028 Budget Input

Community engagement is a priority for the Mayor and Council and city staff. Each year, the City of Rockville evaluates which projects, services, and initiatives may be included in future budgets by considering community needs, available funding, and other competing priorities. From July 1 through Oct. 1, the Rockville community is invited to help shape the FY 2028 budget by completing a survey on community priorities and submitting a proposal for a capital improvement project. After Oct. 1, the public will continue to have opportunities to provide written and oral testimony on the budget through spring 2027, when the FY 2028 budget is scheduled for adoption.

NEW! Fiscal Year 2027 Adopted Budget

The FY 2027 adopted operating budget totals $186.8 million across the city’s 10 operating funds, representing a 6.5% increase over the FY 2026 adopted budget. The development of the FY 2027 adopted budget reflects thoughtful planning, meaningful community engagement, and the collective leadership of the Mayor and Council. The budget maintains flat real and personal property tax rates, continues the implementation of the city’s adopted water and sewer utility rates, and reflects a modest increase of $20 per year for the refuse and recycling rate, and a $10 per equivalent residential unit (ERU) increase in the stormwater management fee. The FY 2027 adopted CIP includes new appropriations of $35.2 million and supports 56 capital projects. The budget includes seven new capital projects which prioritize asset preservation, regulatory compliance, safety, and placemaking while positioning the city for long-term sustainability.
