Revenue measures
These figures use the accounting labels reported by the City. Different revenue measures are shown separately rather than treated as interchangeable.

- $275,900,000
- Estimated revenues other than property taxes
- $260,468,900
Budget in Brief projected revenue. Excludes transfers in, interfund loans, and other financing sources.

Rate basis: per $100 of net assessed valuation
FY2026 current rates are 0.6095 primary and 0.8497 secondary, for a combined rate of 1.4592. A narrative passage in the FY2026 Final Budget repeats FY2025 rates 0.6241 and 0.8351; those prior-year rates are not used as FY2026 current values.
Capital
Capital measures
Capital figures can describe different accounting measures. OWVAZ keeps those measures separate instead of combining them.
- Budget in Brief capital improvement
- $204,200,000
- Adopted Capital Improvement Plan
- $204,139,000
- Capital outlay
- $208,891,200
Budget in Brief capital-budget-by-function presentation, rounded to $204.2 million.
Exact FY2026 adopted Capital Improvement Plan appropriation.
Exact FY2026 capital-outlay object-category budget.
Capital measures are not interchangeable. The Budget in Brief expenditure-type graphic presents Capital Improvement as $204.1M, the separate capital-budget-by-function presentation rounds to $204.2M, the exact adopted CIP is $204,139,000, and exact capital outlay is $208,891,200.
The Final Budget explains that CIP differs from capital outlay because vehicles may be considered capital while being purchased from operating funds.
