City Budget & Finance

The City of Harrisonburg operates on a fiscal year from July 1 to June 30.

Each year the City Manager prepares the budget using input from department directors. The City Manager then presents the proposed budget to City Council for approval. 

The Harrisonburg City Code requires a proposed balanced budget to be submitted to City Council at least 60 days (by April 30) before the end of each fiscal year.

Before City Council adopts the budget, two public hearings must be held to receive input from the community.  City Code also states that the budget must be adopted at least 30 days (by May 30) before the end of the fiscal year.

Both proposed and adopted budgets are public documents and are available to citizens for review. 

All files are in PDF format.
