Annapolis adopts FY2027 budget and property-tax levy

The Annapolis City Council adopted Ordinance O-8-26 on June 22, establishing the city’s FY2027 operating budget, FY2027 capital budget, multiyear capital-improvement program and property-tax levy.

The ordinance is an adopted municipal measure, not a pending budget proposal. It appropriates money for city expenditures during the fiscal year that began July 1, 2026, and ends June 30, 2027. It also levies and imposes the City of Annapolis property tax for the taxable year beginning July 1, 2026.

The city’s municipal ordinance index identifies O-8-26 as the FY2027 budget and property-tax levy measure and records its June 22 adoption.

Annual budget and capital planning

O-8-26 combines several budget actions in a single ordinance. Along with the annual operating budget, it adopts a FY2027 capital budget and a capital-improvement program for fiscal years 2028 through 2032.

The operating-budget appropriations apply to the city’s current fiscal year. The capital-improvement program has a longer planning horizon, extending through FY2032. The official materials establish that time frame but the retrieved ordinance excerpt does not provide a complete project list or total capital-spending figure.

Likewise, the available excerpt does not display the total adopted city budget. That means the ordinance confirms the budget framework and its effective fiscal-year dates, but the supplied record does not support a citywide spending total.

Tax levy and grant appropriation

The adopted ordinance sets the city property-tax levy for the taxable year that started July 1. The supplied ordinance materials confirm the levy was adopted, but do not display a final property-tax rate schedule.

Without that schedule, the record does not establish whether the rate increased, decreased or remained unchanged. No council vote total is included in the approved source material.

The ordinance includes $266,600 in Community Development Block Grant appropriations. Of that amount, $200,000 is designated for contractual services and $44,200 for interfund transfers.

The council action therefore places the city’s annual operating and capital budget measures, the tax levy and the identified grant appropriations into the adopted FY2027 ordinance. The current operating year runs through June 30, 2027, while the related capital-improvement program continues through FY2032.

The approved record does not identify a later implementation change. It also does not provide further detail on the capital projects covered by the multiyear program.
