City begins FY 2027 budget talks

by | Jun 18, 2026 | Area News, Latest, News

The Sachse City Council received Monday a preliminary municipal budget for the coming fiscal year, signaling a significant change in the way the city traditionally has prepared its financial document.

Finance Director David Baldwin said the city plans to present portions of the budget as they are developed, rather than unveiling a nearly completed document later in the process.

Baldwin said property taxes are expected to account for 61% of the fiscal year 2027 budget. Sales tax revenue is projected to provide 11%, while franchise taxes are expected to contribute about 8%.
