The City of Williamsburg's Fiscal Year runs from July 1 to June 30. Preparation of the budget begins long before it's adopted in May. Citizen input is essential to the process, and the City tries, therefore, to make the process as clear and accessible as possible. Updates and materials will be posted to this webpage.

Please review the timeline and opportunities for public comment. We encourage residents to attend public meetings and contact City staff and Council by phone, email or in person with any questions or comments.
