FY 2020 Adopted Budget

Read the FY 2020 Adopted All-in-One Budget 

On April 23, 2019, The Arlington County Board adopted a $1.4 billion balanced General Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 2020 that includes a two-cent increase per $100 of assessed value in the property tax rate for Calendar Year 2019.

The Board retained the 0.5 cents proposed by the Manager for County priorities of public safety and general employee compensation as well as 1.5 cents and additional resources to support Schools, including school nurses, school resource officers, and increased support for APS swimming pools. The efforts to ensure competitive pay for public safety continues a commitment made by the Board last year that will address our critical need to recruit and retain talented staff.  For a quick summary of the adopted budget please refer to the Adopted Budget Press Release.
