FY 2026 - 2027 Budget Roadmap
FY 2026 - 2027 Budget Survey
The City of Corpus Christi is calling for public input as it begins developing the FY 2026 - 2027 Budget by launching a community-wide survey.
The City remains fully committed to maintaining and investing in our water system, which continues to be our highest priority. This survey focuses on the General Fund, which supports core city services. Water operations and rates are funded separately through Enterprise Funds and are not part of this survey.
The City is currently establishing its fiscal priorities for the upcoming year, and residents’ participation is essential. The FY 2026 -2027 Budget Survey is available to collect resident feedback on City services. The survey asks participants to rank and prioritize a wide range of city services, including:
Public Safety: Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services.
Neighborhood Quality: Code enforcement (trash/overgrown yards), nuisance properties, and garbage/recycling.
City Life: Parks, libraries, pools, recreation centers, and senior centers.
Infrastructure: Residential street maintenance and parking enforcement.
Growth: Health services and economic development (bringing in new businesses and housing).
The survey is designed to be quick and easy to understand. It is available in both English and Spanish.
