Budget Resources and Filing

September 2025 Update

With the passage of SB24-233 and HB24B-1001, a new property tax revenue limit is now law and effective for the 2026 local government budget year. The Division has prepared a technical assistance resource for the 5.25% Property Tax Revenue Limit (also known as the 10.5% Property Tax Revenue Limit). This courtesy resource is provided for informational and technical assistance purposes only and should not be considered definitive or legal advice.

Resources

  • Budget Requirements - Statute requires a few items be included with a budget filing. Use this checklist to ensure your budget meets the standards.
  • Budget Calendar - This budget calendar provides general dates to consider in the preparation and adoption of the budget. Each local government should use these to guide the creation of their own budget process calendar.
  • Budget Amendments - Budget amendments are occasionally necessary, and should be filed with the division when adopted by a local government.
  • E-file your budget
  • Local Government Information System - View annual budgets and other documents filed by local governments (no login required).

Updates to E-Filing Portal and Local Government Information System

The Division of Local Government (DLG) has implemented a new e-filing portal to be used by all local government entities, requiring some current users to create new login credentials. Learn More
