The City of Columbia budget outlines priorities for the fiscal year that runs Oct. 1 through Sept. 30 each year. We know our budget is complex, and it can be confusing. Our hope is to clarify this process so everyone can better understand how fiscal decisions are being made and why your feedback is so important. On the right side of this page, we’ve provided answers to several Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). We encourage you to share your comments and questions below as we move ahead in crafting the FY2027 budget. Also follow this project to be notified of additional opportunities to learn and be heard!

The City is hosting a series of Budget Town Halls designed to inform residents on the City's overall budget process and allow residents to ask questions and provide feedback. PowerPoint presentations given at each town hall will be posted on the right side of this page, under the Materials tab, after the town hall occurs.

We encourage all residents to participate in our budget process and help shape how funds are prioritized!


Members of the public may attend any open meeting. For requests for accommodations related to disability, please call 573.874.CITY (2489) or email City@CoMo.gov.
