Fiscal Year 2027 City Manager's Proposed Budgets 

AVAILABLE ONLINE

The Fiscal Year 2027 City Manager’s Proposed Budgets for the City of Weston, the Bonaventure Development District, and the Indian Trace Development District are now available online.  Explore the key highlights, critical decisions, and the impact this budget will have on our community.  Stay informed and engaged by taking a closer look at the fiscal roadmap that will shape the year ahead.

The City of Weston Fiscal year total expenditure budget for all funds, including the Indian Trace Development District and the Bonaventure Development District, is $200,074,800, a –21.90% decrease compared to the Fiscal year 2026 Adopted Budget of $256,117,400.  This includes reserves and capital projects.

Weston residents have always expected, and deserved, a high standard of service, and this budget maintains that.  The recommended millage rate is 3.6260 mills for Fiscal Year 2027, which provides a balanced budget without drawing from reserves, ensures that Weston can continue operating effectively.

In November, voters will be asked to consider a state constitutional amendment to increase the Homestead exemption.  If approved, it will significantly impact the amount of revenue dedicated to the City’s General Fund.  The loss of revenue will reduce the City’s capacity to fund services.  If the ballot measure passes, the City has limited options:  reduce levels of service, increase fees, raise the millage rate, or a combination of each.

For more information on the proposed constitutional amendment, we encourage you to view our webpage on Proposed Property Tax Reform.

'Weston Delivers'  is the theme for Fiscal Year 2027 

For thirty years, Weston has operated on a simple proposition:  that a small, well-run city government – lean in staff, disciplined in spending, relentless in holding contractors accountable – can deliver a quality of life that larger municipalities rarely match.  'Weston Delivers' is not an aspiration.  It is a fact.  Weston has, and continues to deliver, services, safety, quality of life, and fiscal accountability even in the face of an uncertain revenue stream 

WESTON Residents may look forward to the following in Fiscal Year 2027:

• Arts, cultural and recreation programs maintained at the current levels;
  
  In Fiscal Year 2027, proposed capital projects will include 
•  Community Center Room Divider and Generator Upgrade
• Regional Park North Playground Replacement
• Tequesta Trace Park LED Lighting Upgrade
• Eagle Point Park Improvement, Design Phase
• Fire Brush Truck and EMS Rescue Vehicles
• Pavement marking refurbishment
• Roadway milling and resurfacing
• Streetlight Branch Circuits

• Additionally, maintaining and upgrading public facilities, parks, and emergency services, ensuring residents benefit from safe, modern, and accessible amenities. 

Goals for Fiscal Year 2027
