2027-2028 budget survey now open

The City of Renton is working on the biennial budget for 2027 and 2028. As part of this process, we are conducting a community-wide budget survey, open now.

The city’s research partner, ReconMR, started outreach with a random selection of residents. You may receive text messages, emails, phone call, or mailed postcard with information encouraging you to participate in the online survey.

If you did not receive the survey from ReconMR, it will open to the public on April 22 and close May 13.

The budget serves as the primary policy document for prioritizing and planning the city’s service levels and addressing capital needs.

The city uses a “budgeting for outcomes” approach to building the budget, referred to as Renton Results.

Using Renton Results, the budget is built around the city’s six key service areas which are directly tied to the council's adopted business plan.

  • Safety and health
  • Representative government
  • Livable community
  • Mobility
  • Utilities and environment
  • Internal support

The city provides many services and programs to ensure community safety and an enhanced quality of life. The city is responsible for building and maintaining roads, providing police and emergency management services, and maintaining parks, open spaces, and recreational centers.


What is the budget process?

The city’s budget is updated every two years to meet the evolving needs of our growing community and to fund solutions that make a real difference in your daily life. Your input plays a vital role in shaping these decisions. The process begins by listening to you, alongside priorities from the mayor, council, and city leaders. Together, this collaboration shapes the final budget, which is then reviewed and approved by the Renton City Council.


Why is my input important?

A city budget is the roadmap for how your tax dollars are invested in essential services that enhance the quality of life for all residents. It sets priorities that affect your everyday experience, like public safety, transportation, parks, and infrastructure. By participating in the budget process, you help shape the community’s needs and priorities, guiding Renton’s shared vision for the future.
