West Valley City sets Aug. 11 hearing on tentative 2026–27 budget

West Valley City has set an Aug. 11 public hearing on its tentative budget for fiscal year 2026–27, opening a formal opportunity for residents to weigh in on the proposed spending plan, individual funds and related property-tax and federal-fund information before the budget is finally adopted.

The hearing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 11, 2026, at West Valley City Council chambers, 3600 Constitution Boulevard. The city’s resolution also provides for electronic participation.

Comments may address budget or individual funds

Residents may submit written or oral comments either for or against the tentative budget or particular funds included in it. The scheduled hearing concerns a budget period that begins July 1, 2026, and ends June 30, 2027.

The city’s notice also includes consideration of Community Development Block Grant funding and other federal funds. Those federal-fund items are part of the materials associated with the tentative-budget process, rather than a separate final funding decision described in the resolution.

The hearing gives residents the identified public-comment opportunity before the city takes final action. Comments can concern the overall tentative budget as well as individual funds, allowing people to address the portions of the proposal most relevant to them.

Property-tax schedule remains open for inspection

West Valley City adopted a property-tax impact schedule along with the tentative budget. Under the resolution, the schedule will remain available for public inspection until final adoption of the budget.

The availability of that schedule does not establish that a property-tax rate change has been approved. The city document does not state a final budget amount, and it does not say whether the city ultimately will adopt a property-tax rate increase or decrease.

That distinction is important because the budget now before the public is tentative. The Aug. 11 hearing is the next specified step in the process, while the resolution identifies final adoption as a later action without providing a final-adoption date or a final spending total.

What happens next

Residents who want to comment may do so in writing or orally through the hearing process on Aug. 11. The city will keep the property-tax impact schedule available for inspection until the budget receives final adoption, according to the resolution.

The notice does not provide further details about a final budget vote, a final property-tax rate or the amount of any federal funding under consideration. Those matters should not be treated as settled by the tentative-budget notice.
