Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget
Investing in Our Community, Together
The City’s annual budget is more than just numbers—it’s a plan that reflects our community’s priorities and supports the services that matter most to residents, businesses, and visitors. From public safety and infrastructure to parks, recreation, and community programs, the budget helps ensure Brawley continues to grow and thrive.

Investments in water, wastewater, and infrastructure
Programs and services available to the community
How to Participate
