Where do your local tax dollars go?🤔 Here's a snapshot of the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget! Explore detailed, easy-to-understand infographics of how the County invests in Housing, Transportation, Public Safety, Community Services, and the Environment at ArlingtonVA.us/FY2027

The image is a cover page titled "Guide to the FY 2027 Adopted Budget" with the date range July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027. Below, it says "Arlington Virginia." The background features various icons related to budgeting, transportation, health, and infrastructure alongside colorful charts.

Colorful infographic displaying a $1.7 billion budget breakdown for Arlington, Virginia. There's a 0.7% increase from FY 2026. Categories include Schools (38%), Human Services (13%), and Public Safety (12%). Other sectors are Environmental Services, Non-Departmental, Regionals, and Metro; Courts & Constitutionals, Debt/Capital, Community Services, Management & Administration, and Planning & Development. Website link for details: ArlingtonVA.us/FY2027.

A colorful infographic details community budget updates. At the top, it states "We Heard You," followed by three achievements: keeping Cherrydale Library Branch open, restoring Barcroft Gymnastics Programs, and restoring County Woodshop Program. A special thanks to community members is noted. In the center, there are visuals indicating 35.25 position cuts and an 8.8% decrease in federal funds. At the bottom, there is a section on "Commitment to Racial Equity," highlighting Arlington County’s focus on equity in budget decisions, with questions about who benefits, who is burdened, and who is missing.

It notes a $466 increase for homeowners and a $317 increase for renters due to tax rate and assessment value increases. The "Personal Property Tax Relief Act" is updated to reduce tax for lower-value vehicle owners. There's a $268 per ERU for Stormwater Utility Rate, which is a $10 increase.
