How to Shape the FY 2026-27 Budget Before the Vote

The FY 2026-27 budget gets adopted in September. Between now and then, meetings are scheduled specifically for public input.

You can speak at any of these meetings. Doors open for public comment at 6 p.m., and the location is Flower Mound Town Hall — find it at 2121 Cross Timbers Rd.

Weeknight meetings not realistic? The written route carries real weight. The town hasn't published a written-comment deadline, so the practical answer is simple: sooner beats later. Comments that land early are on the table while staff and council are still working through the numbers.

Here's why this window matters. The budget takes effect Oct. 1, 2026 — and once the September vote happens, the spending priorities for the new fiscal year are locked. Roads, parks, trail maintenance, utility rates, public safety staffing. Departments submit decision packages for new programs, expanded services, and facility enhancements, and Town Council decides which ones get funded. Resident input before the vote is one of the ways those priorities get shaped.
