A city budget isn’t just numbers on a page—it’s about setting community priorities. That’s why public input is an important part of Burleson’s budget process.
When are the public hearings?
- September 2, 5:30 p.m. Burleson City Hall, 141 W. Renfro Street
First reading of the proposed budget and tax rate, including public hearings for both - September 8, 5:30 p.m. Burleson City Hall, 141 W. Renfro Street
Second reading and formal adoption of the budget and tax rate, along with related ordinances
How can residents provide input?
Residents have several ways to share their voice in the process:
- Attend a meeting – All budget and tax rate hearings are open to the public. Residents are encouraged to attend and share feedback directly with City Council.
- Submit questions online – Submit an online form for questions or comments to Burleson Mayor & City Council
- Ask the Mayor - Mayor Fletcher has invited residents to submit budget questions directly to him via this online form.
- Take the annual budget survey – Each spring, the City publishes a public survey to gather input on priorities and expectations before the budget is drafted. This feedback helps guide planning.
