The Santa Fe City Council approved a no-new-revenue tax rate for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, marking the second consecutive year the city adopted this rate. The council also approved a property tax rate of about 22 cents per $100 of taxable value, which was a decrease of one cent from the 2025-2026 rate. The council voted on the budget on August 20, basing it on the no-new-revenue rate.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The city's nearly $17 million budget for 2026-27 is significantly higher than the previous year's $12.3 million budget. This increase is funded by higher sales tax collections and increased property tax revenue from new construction. Capital spending alone rose from $231,000 to $2.7 million, representing a more than tenfold increase.
