Budgets

The Budget section provides detailed information on how the City of Des Moines allocates resources to support community needs and priorities.

Our budget outlines how the City plans to spend and manage funds, reflecting our commitment to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and effective use of taxpayer dollars. Starting in 2024, we have adopted a biennial budget cycle to better plan for the future, beginning with the 2025-2026 Biennial Budget. 
This budget serves as a roadmap for how we address immediate needs while planning for the future, ensuring that our financial decisions support the overall well-being and growth of our city.
