Join City Leaders for an Upcoming Interactive Budget Strategy Session.
Registration is now live for the remaining sessions of Engage RVA , a Budget Town Hall series which invites residents to learn more about the budget process and share input on the City’s funding priorities.

Virtual Town Hall
For those unable to attend in-person, a recording of the budget town hall presentation is now available online. Residents are encouraged to watch the recorded session in its entirety and then take the budget prioritization survey.
Data from this survey will be compiled with data points from our in-person sessions and will be shared with the Mayor and City Council during the budget process as a step towards bringing that process closer to the needs and values of our communities.
About the City’s Budget
The City’s annual budget supports core services and investments, including public safety, housing, infrastructure, schools, parks, neighborhoods services, and more over a fiscal year period (July 1 – June 30). Every March, the Mayor is required to submit a budget proposal to City Council for consideration. The proposal aligns funding with administrative and Council priorities and once approved by City Council, allows the City to execute funds against those priorities.
