City of Tulare Invites Residents to Upcoming Community Meetings About the City Budget

The City of Tulare is inviting residents to take part in two upcoming community meetings focused on the City budget, key projects, and future initiatives. These meetings are designed to give community members a clearer understanding of how the City’s budget works, how local funds are allocated, and what priorities are shaping Tulare’s future.

Residents may participate in either of the following sessions:

During the meetings, City staff will provide an overview of the budget process, share recent accomplishments, discuss future projects, and answer questions from residents. For Fiscal Year 2026, the City’s operating budget is $177.9 million, with projected sales tax revenue of $22.3 million helping fund local services such as public safety, streets, parks, and community programs.

Recent and ongoing community investments include projects such as the Zumwalt Park renovation, the Tulare Business Innovation Zone, and the K-9 Bane Dog Park, with additional capital improvement projects planned over the next five years.
