The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors voted on June 10 to approve the $9 billion Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27.
This year’s $9 billion spending plan consists of $3.2 billion in Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds (utility rates, fees and other dedicated revenue), $4 billion in General Fund (funded with $1 billion in discretionary revenue, $1.7 billion in reimbursements from restricted funds, and $1.3 billion in Federal, State and fee revenue dedicated to specific purposes), and $1.7 billion in Restricted Funds (amounts transferred to the General Fund to reimburse eligible expenditures in General Fund departments).
“Putting together this year’s budget required difficult decisions, and I appreciate the thoughtful and strategic approach our department heads took in identifying reductions,” said David Villanueva, County Executive. “I am also grateful to the Board of Supervisors for their thoughtful discussions, careful consideration and leadership in making the tough choices necessary to adopt a balanced budget."
“Throughout this process, County leaders at every level demonstrated professionalism, responsibility and a commitment to serving our residents. Their dedication is something I’m incredibly proud of and reflects the very best of our County organization.”
