City of San Diego Budget

Our values as a city are reflected in the programs and services the City Council chooses to prioritize and fund. The annual process used to create the budget is an important tool in determining how resources will be prioritized and allocated to meet the diverse needs of San Diego communities.

Let Councilmember Lee Know Your Budget Priorities!

On September 4, 2024, the Independent Budget Analyst requested that City Councilmembers provide Fiscal Year 2026 Budget priorities by September 25, 2024. As Chair of the Budget Committee, Councilmember Lee values the participation of citizens in the development of these priorities so that the final budget better reflects the needs of San Diego communities. Participation in the following survey will help the committee better evaluate City budgetary priorities.
