2027 Budget
The City budget affects our entire community – every single person – which is why it’s important to our organization that we’re hearing from Lawrence residents about what you prioritize. We take all of this input and figure out how to create a single budget that best fits the needs of our entire community and moves forward the goals we’ve identified in our strategic plan.
We're looking for community feedback in a variety of ways as we look to build the 2027 Budget:
- Submit your proposed budget via A Balancing Act
- Participate in a brief Survey. As the City begins planning the 2027 budget, City Commission asked staff to gather initial community feedback on two topics: Fire Medical Station 6 expansion and Parks, Recreation & Culture membership fees. This short survey is your chance to share your thoughts on those topics.
- Share your general budget ideas via the Ideas tab on this page. You can also comment on and vote for the ideas from other Lawrence community members.
- Send your budget questions to our team on the Questions tab on this page.
Share your questions about either the City Budget process in general or the 2027 City Budget here!
We appreciate the community's enthusiasm and curiosity for our annual budget process!
Please note that we may utilize submitted questions in an FAQs section on this site so the entire community can benefit from the information. Names and personal information would not be included in any questions in the FAQs section.
