City officials have begun work on the fiscal year 2026-27 budget and are encouraging residents to participate in the process as the city develops spending priorities for the coming year.

Sachse City Council invited public input during its June 1 meeting, offering residents an opportunity to share their budget preferences before formal budget discussions begin. No residents spoke during the public comment period dedicated to the budget.
