Budget
The City prepares a two-year budget starting on every odd year. The current budget is for 2023 to 2024. Our fiscal years are on calendar years.
Every two years, the City of Woodinville prepares its Biennial Budget. The Biennial Budget is a road map for anticipated future revenue and planned expenditures, allocating resources, and reflecting the City Council's priorities and policies for the upcoming biennium. The budget is also an evaluation tool, comparing commitments made in the previous year's budget with actual accomplishments.
