Fort Collins’ official budget page lists the city manager’s recommended 2027–2028 budget for council review. As checked November 10, the page describes a proposal to be reviewed and revised before adoption in November.
Fort Collins uses a two-year budget cycle, but its charter still requires spending approval for each fiscal year. The page explains that second-year revisions can respond to changed revenue, costs or service priorities.
For taxpayers, the distinction is between a spending recommendation and a council-approved appropriation. The published page does not itself establish that every recommended item has passed. Its hearing information and earlier 2026 adoption history should not be mistaken for a final 2027–2028 vote.
