Bellevue's 2025-2026 budget, which includes the 2025-2026 Operating budget and 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program plan, advances the Council Vision and provides a roadmap for how the city will finance and deliver services, programs and infrastructure.
The City of Bellevue develops a budget every two years. The budget supports essential city services, including building and maintaining streets, providing police and fire protection, and maintaining parks, open space and recreational facilities. Together, these services help sustain the high quality of life enjoyed by residents, businesses and visitors.
Community input is an important part of Bellevue’s budget development process. Resident feedback collected through Community Surveys helps inform the city’s priorities and budget decisions.
Additionally, information regarding the 2027-28 budget process is available at Budget Public Involvement.
