Atlantic Beach's budget process for fiscal year 2026-27 is underway, and city officials are encouraging residents to weigh in before the City Commission's final vote in September.
Two public workshops remain before the budget is finalized, followed by a final hearing and vote on the property tax rate. The upcoming budget will fund core city services, public safety, coastal resilience, infrastructure improvements and the maintenance of local parks and natural spaces.
All meetings will be held at 6 p.m. in the City Commission Chamber at City Hall:
- Monday, July 20: Second Budget Workshop
- Wednesday, Aug. 19: Third Budget Workshop
- Monday, Sept. 28: Final Budget Hearing and Property Tax Rate Approval
