Bellevue’s budget is produced every two years and includes a seven-year capital budget. The budget describes how the city intends to finance its services and infrastructure. The city government is responsible for building and repairing roads, providing police and fire protection, as well as maintaining parks, open space and recreational centers, which help contribute to the high quality of life Bellevue residents enjoy.
Bellevue's 2023-24 budget and 2023-29 Capital Investment Program (CIP), adopted by the City Council on Nov. 21, 2022, advance the Council Vision. Resident input, through the Performance Survey and Budget Survey, guides the development of Bellevue's budgets.
Work is currently underway on Bellevue’s proposed 2025-2026 budget. More information is available at Public Involvement.
