The San Antonio City Council approved a $4.4 billion budget for fiscal year 2027, which is designed to subsidize FY27 and FY28 while managing the city’s projected $158 million deficit. The council passed the budget in a 7-4 vote, which includes a 3.9% property tax increase and cuts to numerous services and nonprofit funding. The new charges require residents to pay 56.288 cents per $100 of taxable property value, with the budget taking effect on October 1.
