Residents are invited to provide input on Oklahoma City’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2026-2027.

Due to slow revenue growth, the Police Department and Fire Department were directed to propose a 1.4% budget reduction, and most other City departments proposed a 2.4% reduction. The City Council is expected to adopt the final budget on June 2.

Submit feedback using the engagement tools below. You can also text comments to (405) 252-1053 or email them to budgetcomments@okc.gov.

The City Council meetings can be watched live and recorded on the City’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/cityofokc.

About the budget

The budget is guided by feedback from the annual resident survey. Information from the survey also helps the City Council set priorities. Those priorities are:

• Promote safe, secure and thriving neighborhoods.
• Develop a transportation system that works for all residents.
• Maintain strong financial management.
• Enhance recreational opportunities and community wellness.
• Encourage a robust local economy.
• Uphold high standards for all City services.
• Continue to pursue social and criminal justice reforms.

The budget process begins each February with a City Council budget workshop. The budget hearings in the spring and budget adoption in June finish the budget process every year. When necessary, the Council adopts budget amendments mid-fiscal year.
