Dallas and Collin counties are moving forward with fiscal 2027 budgets that include major spending decisions and changes in property tax rates, although the two counties face different circumstances as they finalize their plans.

Dallas County commissioners approved a modified $1.589 billion all-funds budget for fiscal 2027, which begins Oct. 1. The budget was reduced from an initial proposal of about $1.608 billion.
