Where do your local tax dollars go?🤔 Here's a snapshot of the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget! Explore detailed, easy-to-understand infographics of how the County invests in Housing, Transportation, Public Safety, Community Services, and the Environment at ArlingtonVA.us/FY2027
The image is a cover page titled "Guide to the FY 2027 Adopted Budget" with the date range July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027. Below, it says "Arlington Virginia." The background features various icons related to budgeting, transportation, health, and infrastructure alongside colorful charts.Colorful infographic displaying a $1.7 billion budget breakdown for Arlington, Virginia. There's a 0.7% increase from FY 2026. Categories include Schools (38%), Human Services (13%), and Public Safety (12%). Other sectors are Environmental Services, Non-Departmental, Regionals, and Metro; Courts & Constitutionals, Debt/Capital, Community Services, Management & Administration, and Planning & Development. Website link for details: ArlingtonVA.us/FY2027.A colorful infographic details community budget updates. At the top, it states "We Heard You," followed by three achievements: keeping Cherrydale Library Branch open, restoring Barcroft Gymnastics Programs, and restoring County Woodshop Program. A special thanks to community members is noted. In the center, there are visuals indicating 35.25 position cuts and an 8.8% decrease in federal funds. At the bottom, there is a section on "Commitment to Racial Equity," highlighting Arlington County’s focus on equity in budget decisions, with questions about who benefits, who is burdened, and who is missing.A detailed infographic highlights changes in real estate tax and property values.
