Detroit City Council approves $3B budget for 2025-26

The Detroit City Council approved a $3 billion budget after making roughly $36 million in changes. 

Monday’s vote wrapped up three weeks of hearings and another week of negotiations to shift funding in Mayor Mike Duggan’s recommended 2025-26 budget and fund the priorities of council members. The final budget includes more money to hire police officers and bus drivers, a slight property tax cut and eliminates funding for the Detroit Land Bank Authority.
